[Home Depot] EcoSmart LED bulbs $0.50 clearance (Waterloo, very YMMV elsewhere)

Home Depot in Waterloo (Ontario) has some Ecosmart LED bulbs on in-store clearance for $0.50 per bulb in multi-packs. I saw 4-packs for $1.99, 6-packs for $2.99, and 12-packs for $5.99, both soft white and cool white. Displays were at the contractor entrance and by the appliances, maybe elsewhere as well.

Not sure if other locations would have them or if it’s just this one; the web site doesn’t show a price for the 6-bulb warm white SKU (1000835493) when I have the Waterloo store selected.

Stocktrack shows most area stores are out of stock for this SKU, the Waterloo store shows 27 in stock and a $0 price, and Cambridge shows 53, also at $0. The next store with stock is Ancaster and it shows a $5.68 price. A few GTA and London stores show $0 so may also be on clearance. https://stocktrack.ca/?s=hd&sku=1000835493

These are low-end bulbs, normally $0.96 each, low CRI, non-dimmable, about as basic as LED bulbs get. They are specified as suitable for use in damp locations and enclosed fixtures, which is nice. I’ve put a few into use over the past year and they seem to work fine, no significant flicker or anything, nothing obviously different than the old bulbs they replace (though they’re much much brighter than 60W incandescents where I’ve replaced those). They are very very lightweight, suggesting minimal heatsinking of components. But for 50 cents a bulb it’s hard to go too wrong.
