I've ordered 4 different bulbs to see what I thought of each.

I think this is my favorite, and is not dimmable. It's the most like a regular light bulb

Philips 429381 10.5-watt (60-watt equivalent) 800 Lumens 3000K A19 LED Household Light Bulb, Bright White

This one also works well and is dimmable. It works well in our ceiling fan because there's limited space, but you wouldn't want it exposed because it doesn't look like a regular bulb.

Philips 433227 10.5-watt Slim Style Dimmable A19 LED Light Bulb, Soft White

this one is dimmable, but has the buzz. It seems to work pretty well, but if you look at the very top, when it's lit, it's got a dark area. It's only an issue if the bulb is in an exposed socket like a downlight or something and you can see the end of the bulb.

Cree 9.5-Watt (60W) Soft/Warm White (2700K) LED Light Bulb

I've had good experience with a Cree branded light for standard recessed lights in the past that I got at HD. Actually, they were recommended by someone here on the board. They came on instantly, had good light quality and looked good.

Would NOT recommend this one. I tried the "daylight" option and don't like the color of the light (they had regular color, I wanted to try the daylight), but for me the big problem is that when you turn the bulb on, it takes a fraction of a second to come on. That doesn't sound like that big a deal, but it's definitely something that I don't like in a light bulb.
