I have not had an issue unlike the other reviewers here. At the time of this writing, my GE bulb has been used in a floor lamp for about three and a half months. It goes on almost every night. The bulb has been great for me since it allows me to add a lot more light to the room while using much less power than an incandescent 100 W bulb. Please be aware that it's quite a bit larger and more than an inch taller than a regular CFL bulb.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bright Idea Would Be For GE To Improve The Printed Packaging., October 26, 2011

Oct 2011. The package says to install base up - but it wasn't easy to find that important information.

My comment to GE Electric is that there is important information mixed in with all the verbiage along the edges of the product package (the colorful sheet inserted into the plastic molded package). It is an expensive light bulb so please work more on the package information. I didn't see a visual aid to show how to install the bulb.

I own at least 7 of these in service now, 6 are sideways for about a year before I noticed that was "wrong".

Nice bright bulb. :)

i was looking for a bulb that would deliver big lumens in a new shop. The reason i went this way was to get the lighting density up and more foot candles at work height. The lamps delivered. The color temp could have been higher and if offered in 5000 kelvin, I would have picked those. That aside , good price, prompt delivery and a satisfied customer.
