I keep rough track of the lifespan of my light bulbs, and these t5 fluorescent tubes are particularly problematic. They come from common Chinese factories with poor quality control. They usually fail early. It works out most of the time because most people don't track bulb lifetimes, so the company who's printed on the glass never sees complaints. For example the Eiko tubes I've used previously were about 50% of rated life. The best tubes are Sylvania, but they do cost. Another option I'm considering is to buy tubes at rock bottom price, so even if they fail early, the cost of replacing lamps isn't a big deal.

These bulbs are hard to find in my area. I was happy to find them at about 1/6th the price I was paying at a big box store. They are just as bright and fit just as well as name brand bulbs. I am very happy with them.

We rely on our undercabinet fluorescent light and really missed it when the bulb died. Rather than pay 8 dollars for a bulb at the local hardware store, I placed the order with Amazon and Illinois Supply Co. These bulbs came in a timely manner, were packed with great care, and most importantly work perfectly. Including postage I paid less for two bulbs here than I would have for one at the hardware store.
A great deal and highly recommended.

Update 8/12/11 Both of these bulbs have now expired, and I've taken back two stars in the rating.
