Had these bulbs for about 3 weeks now. No problems with them as opposed to the other off brand type bulbs. These fit perfectly in my Whirlpool microwave.

UDATE: 11/3/2011 Having bought this only in August...it died in the brand new receptacle I also installed at that time. So, I would reduce my from 5 stars to 4. I could possibly do a 3, but it could be that my stove since it is rated for a 40 is the reason this died. My engineering son could answer that...or possibly Google is relatively short time.

Good replacement for the original 40's that came with the microwave. Brighter actually and at the price purchased reasonable. Turns out the under the microwave lighting is hugely important for cooking and the 40's fried their receptacles even though they were rated for 75 watts...clearly a poorly sourced part by GE.

My microwave is the kind that is installed above the oven, and to get some decent lighting while I'm cooking, I have to keep the microwave light bulb in working order. This light bulb fits the socket and works great. I've considered buying the socket reducer (intermediate to candelabra) so I can use the cheaper candelabra light bulbs. However, it's so easy and convenient to just order these appliance bulbs from Amazon, that I haven't bothered with it. I'll probably continue buying these.

This is my second one of these bulbs. The first lasted about a year, but the wife liked to leave it on all the time. In a kitchen with all halogen or florescent bulbs, the yellow of this one really stands out, but I'd consider it to be similar to other incandescent bulbs. If anyone sees one that's halogen, please let me know. I'd take one of those over this guy. For the price though, it certainly is an easy choice.
