1.0 out of 5 stars Worked great, for about two weeks., December 5, 2009

I bought two of these to replace a pair of older model versions of the same type that gave out after about one year of use.

These worked great, nice white light, good coverage. I was happy, until the first one burnt out after about 10 days of use (about 6 hours a day). I thought maybe that one was just bad, until the second one burned out after another 4 days of use. After removing them, I found that the base of each was leaking a viscous ozone-smelling fluid. Another quality product made in China for GE.

I guess they might last 6 years if you never use them. I do NOT use a dimmer, so that isn't an issue. I ended up just spending the extra money for LED floodlights and have stopped using CFLs for exterior lighting.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beware of the wide base, January 21, 2010

Bought several for outdoor lighting. Beware of the very wide base just above where the bulb is screwed into the light socket. My outdoor lights have shields that protect the bulb, and in this case the shield base width was not wide enough to allow this bulb to fit. Other notes 1) takes 2-4 minutes to reach full brightness 2) light color is nice & warm

I purchased two of these GE, made in China, bulbs. They both burned out in no time at all; days. GE is trying to turn a profit, but has lost this customer for all GE products... after a failed stove and now failed bulbs, I have given up on GE products altogether.
