The Primary Application: 3-Way . GE incandescent lamps represents the state of the art of lamps for residential and commercial use, as well as special purpose lamps for decorative or display applications. In an incandescent lamp, light is generated by heating the filament to incandescence. The hotter the filament, the more efficient it is in converting electricity to light. However, when the filament operates hotter, its life is shortened so the design of each lamp is a balance between efficiency and life. This is why lamps of equal wattage may have different lumen ratings and different life ratings. Incandescent lamps of similar size are commonly available with different wattage ratings. The fixture wattage limit should not be exceeded.

California, and perhaps other states, are outlawing these bulbs so stock up now. GE makes great light bulbs. In general, the Compact Fluorescent lamps that the government wants you to use put out light that makes people look ghastly and they also present an environmental hazard. The CF bulbs contain mercury in very small amounts. However, that amount is toxic.

1.0 out of 5 stars Read the fine print NOT A 12 PACK!, August 26, 2010

When you look and re look at this product listing you see GE 12-Pack. Well, when you order you get only one bulb. Don't be fooled like I was. If it sounds too good to be true, these individual bulbs run $2.99 at our local stores, then it is. Little disappointed that Amazon would allow this blatant product miss representation. Spent almost $9 for a $3 bulb--ordering one gets you a single bulb not 12 pack. BEWARE.
