Do you have the original URL in your history (don't click on it, copy and paste in a different browser)? It should have the Bez-azon code. Currently:
- B07RPQNP96 is the code for A19
- B07GS114DJ is the code for GU24
If your history has a different code that currently shows out of stock, that should indicate B07RPQNP96 is a new replacement product.


I tried that, it still takes me to GU24 base

There is a chance this was the fault of Great Eagle Lighting Corporation Store. They might have run out of the original product and substituted the closest description, then restocked a new version with a different code after the re-order link was generated.

Yes, I think this is what happens with these sellers. Still, I hate Amazon for this reason.

Stopped using bezosville's sillywalks search, just use DuckDuckGo.
You can also try their 'Bang' feature:
In the DDG search box type (w/o quotes) "!a search words" .
Takes you to an Amz results page.

I bought this pack of LED bulbs and I am very please with them. I used one at the old house, and I have 5 left that I just installed here at the new house.

I want more, I go to Amazon, click on this order, and it takes me here

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GS114DJ/

This is a different item.

So anyone can recommend some A19 LED lights that are 3000K, and even better if they are dimmable? Thanks

I learned I have to use the item description from previous orders to copy and paste into the new search field. I at least get some of what I want in the results, along with a ton of other crap.
