Super Bright and Energy Efficient, LED light bulbs combine the best of both worlds.
If you are looking to add some additional light to a dark room and save money at the same time, you have to check out these bulbs!
While LED lights bulbs are nothing new, manufactures are really starting to push the envelope when it comes to the amount of lumens they are able to produce from a single “bulb”.
In this article I will be going over a few of the lights I have been using by a company called SANSI.
*As a disclaimer, I am NOT affiliated with SANSI. All of this equipment was purchased with my own money and the reviews are based on my own usage of these products.
First off, Are super bright lights really necessary?
Absolutely!
My original problem – Not having enough light to go around in my garage.
There were only two fixtures available (both on the same wall) and no matter what, there never really seamed to be enough light to find anything.
To fix this problem I figured there were two options. Add more light fixtures or find brighter lights, and since adding new fixtures would be a pain, I went with the latter.
Never going back to CFL or Incandescent blubs again
Once I received my first order of bulbs I was hooked.
Not only did they produce much more light than the CFL lights they replaced, installation was as easy as changing a light bulb.
My list below is all of the bulbs I have used over the years and my reviews on each of them. If you have any questions regarding any specific model, please leave them in the comments below.
SANSI 22W, A21 Ceramic LED Blubs, 5000K, 3000 Lumens
Available in 5000K Daylight and 3000k Soft White color temperatures
Since these was going to be used in my garage, I went with the 5000k Daylight color. However, if you plan on using them inside of your home, I would recommend going with the 3000k Soft Warm color.
Performance
Holy smokes, these things are BRIGHT!
These 22W bulbs are advertised to produce up to 3000 lumens. That is almost DOUBLE the output of a 100W Incandescent Bulb (roughly 1,600 lumens).
The photo above shows one of the bulbs installed in a standard light fixture. Pure white light, bright as the sun.
*Per the mfg. Not for use in totally enclosed fixtures. Not for use with dimmers. Not for use in environments with high humidity.
With both of these lights now running, it has really brightened up the garage and enhanced the overall usability of the space.
If you are looking to add extra light to your garage and don’t like the idea of installing more sockets, I would highly recommend giving them a look.

Science or Witchcraft?
Not only do they blow away an Incandescent Bulb when it comes to light output. They only draw a quarter of the power (22 watts vs 100 watts)!

• Wide 270deg beam angle
• 25,000 hour advertised lifespan

8W LED Light bulb in a Refrigerator
Small and compact 8W LED light bulb in my refrigerator.
Is this necessary…No, absolutely not.
While the brightness may not be needed, this white color makes everything just look…cleaner.
As you can see from the comparison photo, the light is not only brighter, the 5000k color is a much “whiter” light.
Features:
• 5000K color temperature
• No UV or IR, No flickering or buzzing
• A15 Shape, standard E26 medium base
• 25,000 hour advertised lifespan
• 800 max lumens output
Next up….6000 lumans!
Just picked up their 60W, Deformable Ceiling light. This thing has four “arms” and produces up to 6000 lumans of light.
Will be posting some photos of this light once I have used it for a while.
