I have never been able to get anywhere close to the life expectancy they are rated for. Averages around six months in a kitchen fixture that is on several hours a day.
I just replaced one that I installed on 10/10/23.
I started writing the date on the bulbs because they were not lasting.

Multiple Purchases always the same result… dead.
I have purchased these multiple times as I’m always tempted with the cost difference. After several replaced boxes of defective bulbs (flickering or dying within 3-6 months) I switched to a more expensive brand which has been running side by without defect and now processing warranty claim on these terrible ecosmart bulbs. It’s not worth the cost savings when you end up replacing the bulbs three times a year. These are worse then incandescent bulbs. Sadly another case of corporations caring more about taking your money then selling a decent product..

Bad quality
This example of the bulb was in an indoor hallway, with no moisture anywhere nearby.
It lasted about 15 months.

They do NOT last.
We bought these for our whole house less than a year ago. They have all gone out except 2 of them. Not worth it. I will not be buying Ecosmsrt bulbs again. They need to recall these bulbs.

Reduced Lumens
Your website in several places state that these bulbs produce 840 lumens of light. The box that just arrived says 800 lumens.

Bright and save energy
I’ve changed all the light bulbs in my home to energy saving and cooler LED bulbs. In addition to being long lasting these bulbs give off little or no heat. They give off a great amount of light and provide all the illumination you need. I’ve had incandescent bulbs in fixtures that would only last a few months. Once those old bulbs were replaced with LED bulbs the newer bulbs seem to last forever. So they give off little or low heat and save energy and last a very long time. These are not dimmable which is just fine in laundry rooms and closets where you need a lot of light.
I always like to have a set of extra lightbulbs in my home just in case. The EcoSmart ones are perfect, comes in a pack of 8 and standard sizes. They are LED so takes up less electricity and lasts a long time. The only thing to be aware of is that they are non-dimmable. This isnt particularly an issue for me since I use them for my lamps and island lights. Also, I don't like to dim lightbulbs because it has a buzzing sound that bothers me. The brand comes with different temperature options so make sure you get the correct one you need. The 2700K is a warm yellow that is perfect for a cozy environment.
40-Watt equivalent A19 LED light bulb is very energy efficient, less that $1 year base on 3 to 4 hours a day usage, now that is saving. Expect these bulbs to last approx. 11,000-hours. 5.5-Watt 2700K - Soft White - LED perfect for living room, bedroom, kitchen or any place in your home where you would use a standard incandescent light bulb. I have replaced all my old bulbs with these super money saving bulbs and the soft light is perfect, no harsh glare.
These LED bulbs look stunning in our kitchen pendant. At 27000k, the soft white illumination is not overwhelming and provides a warmth to the space. Per the specs, they can last up to 11,000 hours or 10- years, which is very energy efficient. This 8- pack is useful to keep around the house for replacement of other failing bulbs. The bulbs are durable enough that even a simple drop, does not affect the bulb from shattering due to the material used. Overall, a great energy efficient bulb.
Installed in a standard ceiling mount enclosed fixture. Bulb melted. Found this when I went to change the bulb. Similar Ecosmart bulbs (75w equivalent) say they're good in enclosed fixtures. For this 100w equivalent the box states that they are NOT for enclosed fixtures but also states that they generate less heat than an incandescent. I thought I'd get a shorter bulb life but didn't imagine it would be a fire hazard. Ecosmart should be much more clear on their warning labels.

Small but bright
Love these little guys so far. They give off more heat than you would think, but they're just as bright as an incandesent bulb. They also weigh next to nothing

Nice, but not long lasting
I like that the LED are more electricity efficient and don't give off much heat. It's too bad that these don't last as long as incandescent. Each seems to last less than a year. Been through a few boxes of them. That's a real bummer.

Defective
One of the first 2 bulbs that I attempted to use did not work. Disappointing.....I
didn't even bother to see if any others were defective. Repacked and
returned.

Fails to meet expectations
I purchased these light bulbs third time and the time has advertised to last 10 years does not even come close to it. I thought when I purchased it first time I got a lemon. But even purchasing it second and third time I see that they last for me at most 6 to 8 months with about 4-6 hours per day use.. The bulbs are cheap so you get what you pay for. The advertisement that says that it lasts 11 times more than incandescent bulbs but it doesn't.... they are bright tho that's the only good thing about it

The worst light bulbs I’ve ever purchased
These are LED lights, aren’t they suppose to last for years? I’ve purchased several boxes of different assortments of these bulbs. So far, I’ve had to change several because they either start blinking or stop working all together. In less than a year several of these bulbs have been thrown away. What a waist of money!! I can’t believe HD is not doing something about it! Do not buy these bulbs!!

Quality ... The Opposite
The packaging for these bulbs says "Lasts 13 years 15,000 hours". My experience with roughly ten Ecosmart A19 60 watts bulbs and eight Ecosmart PAR30 75 watt bulbs purchased at Home D is negative - on average, they do not even last as long as an incandescent. Home D replaced them three times with no questions, at which point I got the message and bought much more expensive Sylvanias that function as advertised. 'Recommended' only so this review will be seen.

These are so incredibly bright! I got the daylight thinking there would be a slight warm ness to them but no they are like school white LEDs. Great value, I just almost blinded myself when I turned the light on for the first time after I changed them lol!

bulbs won't last more than a few months
This is my second purchase of the Ecosmart brand and I decided to
actually record the exact hours it lasts. The results was not even close to the 11,000 hours claim.

Brightness fades and then needs replacing 1yr later!
I like that when you first put them in they are super bright! However with time, they start to dim until they don't give any light at all. I switched my lights in my bathroom a year ago and just replaced them again.

My bedroom doubles as my home office during the work from home situation. I decided to upgrade my bedroom lighting to day light bulbs for better video conferencing.
While the light is a little too cool for my liking, it works great for my Zoom meetings.
