I received a package with only 8 working 50W bulbs. I contacted JuliusOne and they sent me an extra set of 10! Do I need to say more?

June 2011 update: Apparently I do need to say more... A few bulbs burned out very fast. Overall these may not last as long as some brand names but this is still a great deal considering the price.

Sept 2011 update: I'm already running out of the two packs (20 bulbs) that I received 11 months ago. Unfortunately at least a third of them (maybe close to half) died within a week, and several of those died within a few hours. The ones that lasted, lasted a while. Still, this pack of 10 will last longer than, say, a 3-pack of higher quality Feit Electric bulbs for the same price.

I ordered two sets of 10 bulbs and the items were received as promised with free shipping. I replaced all the lights in my 8 bulb chandelier and the lights all have consistent coloring and look great. These definitely beat the individual bulbs sold in the big box home stores, which are more expensive and seem to vary in quality (some bulbs brighter or different color than others within the same brand). Now I'll have to wait and see how long the life is on them.

I had searched stores locally for over a year, and no one could supply these bulbs
for my lamp. I've only tried one of the bulbs, but the first one worked and i'm so
happy to finally be able to use my reading lamp. Thanks so much.

I needed a halogen replacement bulb for a desktop lamp. This was the best offer (price/unit) I could find on Amazon. Now I have 9 spare ones ;-)
Make sure you get the right size. G8 base means that the both metal pins are 8 millimeter apart. There are other base sizes out there: G6(.35), G4, G9 etc. Take a look at your desktop lamp and check for the max. Watt number you are allowed to install. When installing, don't touch the bulb with your bare skin, use a piece of paper(towel) instead. The dirt/oil of your finger tips could reduce significantly the life of your new bulb and please(!) remember to insert the glass sheet back after installing the bulb. It protects you from the UV light that halogen light bulb produce.

When I got them home, they didn't work. I thought maybe it was my lamp. Nope. Well, I didn't pay a lot for them, now I know why. I did waite a great deal for them to get hear. To bad, they would have been very convinient.
