GE LED+ Dusk to Dawn LED Light Bulbs, Automatic On/Off Outdoor Security Lights, Soft White, E12 Candelabra Base (2 Pack)

I was happy to find candelabra bulbs that work by sensor. I live in an unincorporated area and although I have a street lamp across the road, the front of my home is always very dark at night. Our letter carrier was out late one night and I'm so glad she had a headlamp on because our driveway was dangerously dark; reflecting on it my thought was that she or anyone else, like Amazon, approaching for after dark deliveries risked a trip. We aren't ones to leave a poarch light on...thats just us.I read the reviews and saw some people complained some bulbs went off and on, with one light working and one not or intermitently turning off and on. My lanterns take three bulbs and I did in fact notice the first time/night they were used one of the three would intermittently and alternatively go off and come back on. I was not happy and my first instinct was to return them; however, my husband said they might need a day or two to fully charge and told me to give it a few days. I did and he was right. All three lights are on at the same time at dusk and turn off at first light of day.I feel more secure with these lights coming on at dusk and am happy the Amazon delivery person has been able to leave a package or two on the couple of nights they were out late. And now I don't have to worry that I've forgotten to leave a light on for ourselves when we leave our home.These wonderful little lights do what I forget to do and now there are always lights on in the front of my home to provide a little bit of security. And wow, are these little lights bright! I give these dusk to dawn lights FIVE wonderful stars.

This review is for GE #93121491, GE LED+ Dusk to Dawn Daylight Candelabra Base 2-Pack.I purchased these bulbs to use in my lamp post outside, using a circuit on which I have installed a photo-sensor to automatically turn light on at dark and off during the day. 4 years ago, after installing the new lamp & post, I installed the photo sensor which, unfortunately, failed after only 3 months. I purchased another one, but the $34.95 isn't the worst part... Installing the sensor in a weather tight enclosure which barely has enough wire available is tricky and consumed at least 2 hours of my time. Unfortunately the sensor failed again - this time 6 months after installation. Another 35 bucks, another couple of hours and more frustration - because the screws in the weatherproof enclosure were breaking off. Eventually I would no longer be able to replace the photo sensor without having to replace ALL OF THE COMPONENTS! Well, 18 MONTHS LATER IT FAILED AGAIN! (3 different brands, all made in China) I left it alone for several months because I did not want to tackle the replacement and shell out more money.For some reason, it occurred to me to search for LED bulbs that have the photo-sensing circuitry built in; I had no idea that they existed, but the moment I saw it I knew this would solve my problems! I then researched the various brands, including those available at my local big box store. Ultimately I settled on the GE brand mentioned above, And I couldn't be happier! I knew the brightness and color temperature that I desired based on the bulbs previously used in the lamp fixture. These bulbs were are a little bit brighter, but the color temperature is exactly what I desired. And although the previous bulbs had no light-sensing circuitry, they failed approximately every year... So far this GE light HAS OPERATED 16 MONTHS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUES. Even if it failed at this point, I would gladly replace it with the exact same bulb. I purchased multipacks, so I do have a set of replacements if / when necessary.I know you cannot go wrong with this product... I never give a product 5 stars (nothing's perfect), BUT IF ANY PRODUCT DESERVES 5 STARS - IT'S THIS ONE:GE LED+ Dusk To Dawn, Daylight (5,000° Kelvin), 5 Watt Candelabra Base #93121491. Btw, It's rated for outside use, but I'm using it in a weather-protected lamp fixture... so I can't attest to its ability to withstand rain storms, hurricanes etc.

Very reliable product. GE makes high quality lighting products. Works perfectly. Goes on automatically at dusk.

I have the bulbs installed in fixtures that flank either side of my garage door. One of the bulbs refuses to turn on at dusk (but it will turn off at dawn). I have removed the other bulb to see if it was interfering, but it still won't turn on unless i turn the switch off then back on again. There is no other nearby light source, and in fact, a nearby tree makes that corner very dark. I have tried "resetting" the light according to directions online, but nothing seems to help.Update - I called GE and was told the one bulb was likely defective, so I returned this order and placed another, and now, both light bulbs come on at dusk. It really is nice to not have to worry about remembering to turn my outside lights on and off. The bulbs are worth the price, even if they do have to be replaced every 3.5 years. My only disappointment right now would be that the claimed 13.7 years life expectancy of the lights is based 3 hours daily usage. Since the whole purpose of buying dusk-to-dawn lights is to not have to manually turn the lights off and on, they will actually be on about 10 to 12 hours a night. The 3-year warranty is also based on 3 hour daily usage. I still would have purchased the bulbs had the warranty been 9 months (based on 12 hour daily usage) and if the life expectancy of the bulbs had been stated at 3.4 years, so that's why I am not taking off a star for the deceptive package labeling.

It is supposed to be from dusk to dawn. But it isn’t consistent it turnes off in the middle of the night around midnight.

They work perfectly. Bright warm light. Beautiful!

Described as "dusk to dawn" bulbs with sensor to turn on at dusk and off when it senses daylight. They do not work. It will come on if turned on, but stays on unless it is physically turned off. I specifically bought them for that function and gave it as a gift to my son to use at his house when traveling. Completely useless as they stayed lit the entire time he was away. I stopped by to check. To late to be returned.
