1.0 out of 5 stars A total waste of money., September 22, 2009

This review is from: GE 49895 11 Watt (40 Watt equivalent) Energy Smart Bug Lite Light Bulb (Tools & Home Improvement)

It's a white bulb with a yellow tinted plastic cover. I somehow ended up with more bugs than before when I was using a standard soft white incandescent bulb. I hear the florescent that are actually yellow work much better, so I'd suggest going that route. This is a total waste of money.

This review is from: GE 49895 11 Watt (40 Watt equivalent) Energy Smart Bug Lite Light Bulb (Tools & Home Improvement)

What I love about these bulbs is that they are fully enclosed, so they can be used in an outdoor setting where they may be exposed to moisture. If an unsealed bulb is installed in an outdoor fixture where it is exposed to moisture, it does not last very long. I have security lights at the end of my driveway and the light fixtures are not waterproof. When I was using standard 40 watt bulbs, I was having to replace the bulbs every 3 months. Quite a hassle, not to mention the expense. I finally found these energy efficient, sealed bulbs. The first set I bought were rated for 10 years. One of them lasted 12 years, the other is still going strong. I recently purchased two of these GE 49895 bulbs and replaced the burned out security light bulb with one of them. The light level is perfect, neither too bright nor too dim. These bulbs are rated for a 4 year life span. I don't yet know how accurate that rating is, but am happy with the bulb so far. I highly recommend these bulbs for those who want an amber light in an outdoor fixture.
