Feit Electric Co

I too bought 2, LED 10 paks from Costco. The first LED pak had 6 bad bulbs in it, the second had 3. Costco replaced them and got 3 bad ones out of the two paks replaced. All but 2 of the 20 LED bulbs have burned out within 2 months of putting them in. Those are the 2 I haven’t used yet.

I bought 34 of Feit 120 WATT recessed dimmable light item #ART. 988 162, installed through out the house. Now I hear popping, tapping, cracking from LEDs. It happens when turned on and turned off. Problem is that it wakes me up when I turn off in bed. Some of them are louder some less and some none. I see other customers are also complaining at amazon reviews. I am not happy with this product.

Purchased (2) Feit LED 10 pack, 60w Replacement LED bulb packages from Costco. Out of 20 LED bulbs, 8 of them have failed within 3 weeks. A 40% failure rate isn’t good.
Reached out to Feit, via
, haven’t received a response. I hope they respond as quickly as their product failed.
I would not recommend this product.

I have been using energy-​efficient bulbs since they came out. There are good companies out there, but Feit is NOT one of them. I purchased four bulbs and placed two of them in lamp and hall fixtures. One lasted more than a year, the second lasted 90 days, the third burnt out when installed and the fourth never lit. When I contacted Feit, their requirements to replace were completely unrealistic, so I received NO support whatsoever. I only gave them a star because it seems a requirement to post. It is unfortunate Costco is selling them. Hopefully they have gotten better, they could not be worse.

My only issue is with Feit Electric is their total lack of caring about what their business is doing to the environment. People that buy LEDs generally care about energy savings and also care about the environment. However when you buy FEIT LED’s, all come individually wrapped in 100% hard plastic. Layers upon layers of it — It has to add unnecessary cost onto their price’s. In fact nobody can buy their LED products without the plastic packaging. Therefore they are dooming tons of it every year into land fills, and into rivers, and into the ocean.
I don’t like supporting yet another company that cares more about profits than what they are doing to the environment. It’s a simple fix. I have to conclude Feit’s upper management just doesn’t care. Other companies use recycled paper packaging, which doesn’t hurt anything when its thrown away, and doesn’t support yet more and more plastic from being made –that recycled or not –never goes away.
To add insult, FEIT doesn’t even label all their plastic packaging with a plastic type number so the 1−2% of all plastic that actually does get recycled, can be. There is no excuse why a company would do this in 2015, with all the info easily accessible on how bad plastic is destroying our environment .
LED’s are great, and there are a lot of choices for manufacturers out there, why not pick one who shows they care about our world?

Don’t remember where I purchased these but nearly cost a fire. Light started flickering, then followed by smoke.

Feit Electric Company LED bulbs are trash. They burn out, or fall apart, within a very short time, and if you follow the return directions for failed products, you get no response and no replacements. This is typical of Chinese produced junk products by rip off companies. Spend your hard earned dollars elsewhere.

Been buying this brand for years. Product has always performed. Seem to be always on the cusp of having the newest products. Happy with their items. Loyal customer here.

I would definitely not recommend light bulbs from this company. As others have reported, I’ve had very disappointing experience with them. Having bought a 12-​pack of CFL bulbs, I think a few of them have actually worked for a while (nowhere near what they tout on their packaging and website), but others blew out either immediately, or a couple of days, a couple of weeks, or maybe a month or so later. I didn’t even think to call or do anything about it until recently, when I was near the end of the box, and two very recently installed bulbs both blew out.
At least they do have a toll-​free number, and it’s possible to reach a live person. But, as others here have noted, that person tends to not be particularly helpful or friendly (and just to be clear, though I was disappointed, I remained polite and friendly, as I think it’s never the right thing to take these kinds of frustrations out on someone in that job). The agent was not assertively rude, but not especially sympathetic or placating, when flatly stating that the only help that could be offered would be for me to mail the bulbs I still have (the other crappy ones having long since been sent to the specialty recycling center) to them, and have new bulbs sent back. I will probably do that, although with packing them up, taking them to the post office and paying for postage, it’s likely not going to be worth it, especially if the new bulbs are also lousy, as happened to someone else here.
It’s just bad light bulb season for me, apparently, as I’ve also been dealing with some lemon-​y ones made by Philips. Judging by those, I would not recommend that brand either (although the customer service agent there was much more friendly, and arranged to have a small refund check sent out – not much, but I no longer had receipts, so fair enough).

I bought several LED bulbs for use around my house, including some lights that are on almost all day. The color and consistency of light from the bulbs is great. It does what it’s supposed to do… how much can I ask for?
One bulb died after about a year, but Feit was happy to replace it under warranty (2 years for home use, per their website).
I’m not sure how Greg Z «Contacted the company. No answer. No surprise.» I called their 800 number and got a person immediately.

FEIT bulbs are terrible.
Not just a little bit. A lot terrible.
BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I bought a twin pack of floodlight bulbs for my driveway motion sensor light and they burned out inside of a couple months. Rated for 2500 hours they burned for maybe 350 hours. Tops.
I thought something was wrong with the fixture or I’d blown a circuit breaker. Nope. It was these lousy cheap-​ass bulbs.
Contacted the company. No answer. No surprise.
I have seen the light.
Back to the big manufacturers — they may be a bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

The bulbs DO NOT last. I’ve had to replace 20 – 25 of them within months of buying them. They burn out quickly. These are the worst thing for energy savings or the environment. Buy Sylvania or some other brand, don’t waste your money on Feit bulbs.

I purchased some LEDs from Costco and they work great!

I’m using the 4″ retrofit kit LED and they’ve been working great. Installation was quick and painless. The brightness and color are perfect for the living area.

Very poor quality bulbs. You spend a bunch of time and money replacing bulbs all over only to find out that most will fail within 1 – 2 years. And customer service is marginal. While trying to get replacements, you will have to mail the bulb in (which is not worth it), or they will blame it on usage (heat, voltage, etc.). But the real issue is that these are poorly-​made and not worth the time or money. And the company won’t stand behind their product or their warranty.

Worst CFL lights I’ve ever purchased. Only gave them two stars because I reserve one star ratings for companies I loath. Bought three 6-​packs when I bought my house four years ago. Six were burnt out within half a year. 14 of the 18 bulbs by the end of the first year. Two more the next year. My personal theory on how the remaining two are still working after four years is that they stole a few from another manufacturer and relabeled them as Feit bulbs.

Bought a 4 pack of Energy saving compact fluorescent light bulbs at Costco. Install three and within two days one burned out. Double checked in another installation to be sure it wasn’t the fixture. Yep, dead as hell. Now what kind of money saving crap is that? And you can’t just toss it, it has to be disposed of in specific manner.

Out of the 4 pack I bought, only 1 is still working. Pretty pathetic.
BTW according to the rep everyone is misusing their product which causes to fail. I strongly disagree that the 2^nd generation cfl’s are weak, while the current ones have been perfected and should last longer.
For every ones info I used mine that burnt out in a table chandelier. I added a photo to prove it! The rep was also speculating that I didnt have the correct voltage, geez I am an Electrican thanks.
I only called to inform them their product is inferrior, and want them to improve them…
Disclaimer:
I own several of their products and all the cheaper screw in twirlys have outlasted their high end Hollywood cfl or recessed can.
BTW checkout.
for reviews on a particular bulb!

The 50−100−150W bulb on my three-​way lamp burned out recently, so I went to buy a new lightbulb. Feit offered an «Eco» bulb that matched my need, so I bought it on Saturday. By Monday night it was no longer working (that’s 48 hours, folks), so I took my $ 10.99 Feit bulb plus receipt back to Walgreens to get a refund and buy myself a standard incandescent bulb for my lamp.
It’s a shame, because I’ve bought other fluorescent bulbs (I think made by other brands) that are still going strong in my bathroom, and I’ve seen the curly bulbs work well for ²⁴⁄₇ ceiling lighting in an art studio. But I am *not* impressed by the Feit three-​way bulb.

It is not green if it burns out in a few weeks.
I’ve had a number of Feit Electric Compact Fluorescent bulbs, both at home and at work. They’ve been installed properly (not getting too hot). But they burn out at an alarming rate. Cheap cheap cheap. I make a point, each time a Feit CF bulb burns out, to call the company for a replacement. But that’s just because I’m seeking a way to get them to improve the product. I realize it is a waste of energy, money, and effort to buy and install a low quality (and incidentally, high mercury) bulb. Cheap is not value, cheap is not green. My most recent Feit bulb? A 200W equivalent replacement from Fiet used in a stand up office lamp. Yes, the replacement started to flicker horribly, and then it went totally dark, after less than a month’s use. Some «EcoBulb» indeed.
Review update Oct 2009. My wife reported a pop sound and an acrid burning smell which we could not locate. We knew something plastic had melted, but looked for 30 minutes before finally finding the still mouldering remains of… you guessed it… another Feit bulb in an overhead track lamp. There are black streaks coming out of the bulb base, and the entire house stinks. This was a Feit 13 watt bulb that came with our rental. The bulb was properly installed, and in no way enclosed by the track lamp.
