Govee LED Dusk-to-Dawn Light Bulbs, 7W 600lm Smart Sensor Automatic Bulb with Auto on/Off, 30,000 Hour Lifetime, Indoor/Outdoor Lighting Lamp for Porch, Hallway, Garage (E26 Base, Soft White, 3 Pack)

I purchased these lightbulbs Nov of 2017. One just burned out. The other still working. Use on wall sconces on either side of my garage door. I'm happy with six years and still going.

I bought these just over 2 years ago for the Coach Lights for my house. My coach lights are encased in frosted glass, and these bulbs work just GREAT.For well over 700 days, the lights come on at dusk, and shut off at dawn. But a week ago, one light would not shut off. I disassembled the entire light, and put it back in. It was off for the rest of the day, came on at night as expected, and stayed on. The sensor is inside the plastic housing, so it wasn't serviceable/cleanable.What you need to know. These will WORK in your coach lights. Other external sensor bulbs indicate that they do not work being inside a frosted glass environment. These ones WILL.And if I get 700 to 1000 cycles out of my next set, I'll still be happy.

I came from a Philipps "dusk to dawn" CFL light, which lasted for about five years. I am not particularly happy about the Philipps, for couple reasons 1) its photon sensor is exposed, and my street light isn't fully closed, the opening on the bottom allows bugs to come in, and eventually invites spiders to come in as well, so I had to clean up probably once every year to make sure the sensor doesn't get blocked by the spider web, and other stuff like pollen etc. 2) the photon sensor from the Philipps isn't sensitive enough to the light. For example, if it rains all day, the light could stay on for the entire day which is completely unnecessary.The Minger fixed these to issues. The sensor appears to be inside the bulb, which should protect it from the elements, and hopefully not bother by the spider web etc. I am also very happy to report that it's sensitive enough so that it doesn't turn on unnecessarily which saves energy for me. I only had it for couple weeks, so I can't comment on the longitivtiy. I only need one, so I have two backups, which should last me for a few years.

I often forget to turn off the front porch light letting it suck up electricity during daylight hours. Looking for a dusk-to-dawn photo sensor gadget, I came across several brands of LED bulbs with self-contained sensors. My experience with LED bulbs has been mixed. Often the 50 billion-hour-lifetime-warranty bulbs would last a month. Although guaranteed, figuring out how to take advantage of that "guarantee" was impossible. So, with this order I just picked the cheaper selection, the Minger bulbs. I've never heard of them. I figured it was yet another seller of cheap Chinese manufactured junk coming from a source with no quality control. However, I was very surprised when the package arrived containing the order of three bulbs. Each bulb was packed in a cardboard box, not the flimsy paper boxes most bulbs come in and in each box was a card with full contact info for Minger customer service. What? I have never bought a light bulb with any sort of customer service information. The point is I am confident that if some or all of these don't last as long as promised, there is a way to contact the seller to get replacements. Try that with a GE bulb!

Let me start by saying the bulbs work. However, the process of discovering if they would work in my outdoor fixture was not as intuitive as I expected. You cannot screw the bulb in, flip and switch and let there be light. That's not how it works. After testing the bulbs in several fixtures (indoor and outside) I decided to leave the bulb in the porch light, switch on, too see what would happen. At dusk the bulb lit up for about 2 minutes then it went off. I thought to myself "That's it, the thing is fried!" To my surprise the bulb lit up again after 30 minutes and has been working since. I guess the sensors were setting themselves (?). I'm not bright enough to figure out the science behind this stuff--they work. I'll edit my review if I have comments in future.Update: I have been using the exact same bulbs every night since my original review! These bulbs are long lasting and the sensors work really well--they don't activate on overcast days unless it is dark outside. A few of my neighbors have also started using them on their property.

I bought these for when I go on vacation, for the porch lights to automatically come on and off every day. These work really well for outdoors, but not so much for indoors. I say that because I wanted to use them in a couple of rooms to make it look like someone was home, but I didn't want them to be on for TOO long each time because I'm paranoid of the bulbs getting hot, or cat knocking over the lamp. In my opinion they come on too soon and take too long to turn off despite a reasonable amount of light in the room. It didn't even matter I had the lamp very close to a window with white semi-sheer curtains. They would come on while there was still plenty of light in the room, and wouldn't go off unless it was particularly bright in the room. GREAT for porch lights though.

We'd been frustrated for a while with figuring out our dusk to dawn lighting issue in the back and front of our house with our 3 exterior lights. I'd installed Decora dusk/dawn switches and they worked but they were also $20 each vs. a 3pk of these dusk/dawn LED bulbs for $16. I ordered and installed them upon delivery and tested them both in our front and rear fixtures. The front switch already had the Decora dusk/dawn switch installed so i just turned it on, and our 2 rear lights just had a regular Decora switch on them. Over the course of 3 days all 3 bulbs came on and went off as they're supposed to, so I uninstalled the Decora dusk/dawn switch and put a regular switch back and returned the 2 $20 each Decora dusk/dawn switches and saved us $25 in the process. These bulbs just work as they're supposed to after a week and hopefully this trend continues, but if anything changes I'll update this review. So for now - buy them! They're a great bargain at $16 for a 3pk!

Worked ok at the start but two bulbs now both failed. They do not seem to like colder weather, would not work when cold then starting working again once temps were above freezing

Buy these, best bang for your buck!

These bulbs work exactly as described. Truly dusk to dawn lighting. Better than having to program something. Even the light on the porch turns on and off as it should. No issues at all lining up a sensor either (like I read in reviews for a different bulb). Supposed to be 30,000 hours so now it just has to stand the test of time and winter. Highly recommended.

I prefer "soft white" or better yet, "cool white" bulbs to these "warm white" ones (too much yellow) and I also wish that they were 9W instead of 7W, but otherwise they have worked reliably since I installed them.

Product was received earlier than expected, and in good condition. Kudos to Amazon for quick shipment! 👍Bulbs expected were Motion Sensor bulbs, however, the bulbs received are merely Dawn to Dusk. They did function exactly as per instructions and descriptions in the enclosed instructions, turning on at dusk very nicely. However, These are not what I wanted or expected. May I please have these exchanged for the "Motion Sensor" Bulbs? Please advise, thank you.
