6pk of 100 Watt Equivalent LED A21 Light Bulbs for $18 (Daylight) or $19 (Soft White)

If you are looking for 100 Watt Equivalent A21 LED light bulbs, and don’t need to receive them yesterday, Amazon has a pre-order sale on their upcoming 6-packs in the Daylight Color (5000 Kelvin; 1400 lumens) for $18.26, and in the Soft White Color (2700 Kelvin, 1300 lumens) for $19.24. They are rated 15,000 hours per light bulb.

The 2-packs are shipping but the 6-packs are currently in pre-order status. Amazon’s pricing is so crazy that the 2-packs cost more (!) than the 6-packs, eg a 2-pack of 100W Daylight goes for $22.49, but a 6-pack goes for $18.26. You also get to keep the sturdy cardboard container the 6-pack comes in ~ see gallery picture #3 over there.

A “Clear” light bulb option (2700 Kelvin, 1000 lumens) is available in the listing, but it’s neither available at 100W, nor it is on sale on par with the other two options.

Photography needs light, and sometimes regular light bulbs are the only lighting option available. Or something like that.

The “Soft White” offer continues, a 16-pack of Philips LED light bulbs, 60W equivalent, are on sale for $32~ at Amazon by Amazon itself. This makes it around $2 per light bulb (I didn’t even need to use a calculator for the complex math!).

The “Daylight” offer expired: Which brings us to a pretty good LED deal, a 16-pack of Philips LED Daylight light bulbs, 60W equivalent, are on sale for $24.56 at Amazon by Amazon itself. It comes out to around $1.54 per light bulb, which beats the Home Depot 4pk for $9 ($2.25 per bulb). These are A19, with 800 lumens. Only the Daylight is discounted thusly.

The usual free shipping terms apply, Prime or with a $49+ order, or $25+ in books.

Speaking of books, coupon code HOLIDAYBOOK gets you $10 off an order of $25+ in printed books sold and shipped by Amazon itself until Monday at 3am ET.
