One bulb in my ceiling fan light burned out, so I replaced all of them with LEDs.
When one bulb goes, the rest tend to follow pretty quickly, so I swapped all four incandescent bulbs in my overhead light for a six-pack of SOLLED A19 LED bulbs. They are 11 watts, a 100-watt equivalent, at 5000K daylight. The SOLLED pack is no longer listed, so the button goes to a current 100W-equivalent 5000K A19 six-pack.
- Much brighter than the incandescent bulbs they replaced
- Whiter light with more accurate color
- No noticeable heat
- More energy efficient
- Some people find a 5000K daylight color harder on the eyes than warm white

Why replace them all
I have an overhead light that is part of a ceiling fan, and one bulb went out. In my experience, once one goes, the others start going pretty quickly.
So I replaced all four with something more energy efficient, possibly brighter and cooler running.
What the bulbs look like
They look like normal light bulbs in shape and size. The top 80% or so is frosted translucent plastic, and the lower 20% is an opaque collar above the standard base.
The old bulbs
My old incandescent bulbs were a warm white, probably in the 2000K range, and they get really hot. The room got warm with them all on, and I had to turn them off and let them cool before I could even swap them.
About the buy link
The SOLLED six-pack is no longer listed, so the button goes to a Linkind six-pack of A19 LED bulbs with the same 100W-equivalent, 5000K daylight rating.
The difference
Right away it was an improvement. The color is whiter, which some people say is harder on the eyes, but I like the more accurate color when I am looking at things. They are also so much brighter. Part of that is having all four bulbs working again, but it is brighter than it ever was.
There is no heat coming off them like the old bulbs, and the room where I sit and work is lit up. Dim, dingy rooms put you to sleep; this brightened mine up in a huge way.
