dan24438 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I'm looking for 200 Bright White Led C9's. I've found them on 1000bulbs site for 25 or so for a box of 25. Was just curious if anyone had experience with someplace else with a lower price? Thanks in advance.
Max-Paul Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 No, thats a good price in my book. I was getting mine for .95 each, but that was during a pre-sale event. And that was a few years back.
Darryl Lambert Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Dan24438 could you post a link to the ones you were looking at? The ones I saw on there site here do not mention anything about being dimmable, and unless your just turning them on & off could be an issue.
Cheski Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Holiday light express has good prices during their sales.
dan24438 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/116054/CMS-LEDC9PW-SP.html These are the ones i was looking at. It looks like the ones you linked to have 5 leds and the ones i found only have 3. The three are more expensive. I had not considered that they wouldn't be dimmable (just assumed they would). For what I'm looking for they need to be dimmable for sure. I am so glad you brought that up, I would have been very pissed off at myself if they end up not being dimmable. I will call 1000bulbs tomorrow (most likely Tuesday since the holiday) and see what they say. Anyone have experience with either of these bulbs and can say if they are or are not dimmable?

Darryl Lambert Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 CDI has them as well. A bit more expensive but Paul stands behind his products. A friend had bought those linked & had a issue with a few. He emailed Paul & he replaced them with a few extras no questions asked.

Max-Paul Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Yes it was at CDI where I got mine. Now I have had a few that have leaked and got water into them. A few was the outer envelope and some where the inter envelope where the LED leads rusted out. So be sure to get extras.
dan24438 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 Looks like i'll be purchasing from CDI. They are a little more but at least I'll be sure they are dimmable.
Max-Paul Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Also has more LEDs per bulb than the 3 you said that 1000 bulbs have. Think CDI has the 5 LED. Although might need sun glasses at 100%.
