I have some undercabinet puck lights I use these in, and I had been buying single bulbs for a lot more at a local big-box store. Since buying Amazon prime, I've been ordering more things online when the need comes up, and when the bulbs last burned out and I needed to get some more, I found the size bulb on Amazon and was pleased to find them for this price and quantity.

I don't think they burn out any faster than the ones I bought at the other store, but I'm careful when I replace them to use a piece of cloth and not get any finger oil on them (which creates heat variations). I'm not sure how many are left in the 3 pack (I bought them several months ago, and I have multiple undercabinet pucks), but I will be buying them again when my supply runs low.

I bought these bulbs from Amazon about 6 months ago. They are in a kitchen overhead light. I replaced all 6 of them at once. The first two burned out this week. The label claims "4000 hours." It was more like 80 hours. I was careful with the bulbs during installation. Wiped them down with denatured alcohol and wore a nitrile rubber gloves to install them. Very disappointed. Will not buy these again.

I have used this bulb in my LG microwave. It does not last more than a few months. I always use gloves to install it so there is no oil residue, but they blow earlier than expected. I have continued to buy them because it is the only bulb I can find locally.

Xenon bulbs are a much better option than regular halogen. They burn cooler and last much longer. I am not having to replace these as quickly as I did the regular halogens.

This product is a disappointment. I purchased under counter lights weh I did my kitchen over. They only took these Feit bulbs. The package claims they last for 4000 hours. I don't think I even get half that out of them . I am continually replacing them. they are costly.

I bought these to replace bulbs in my undercabinet puck lighting. They are a perfect fit. The color of the light is not quite as white as other xenon bulbs I purchased previously at HD. (I don't recall what brand those are). Not a huge deal as the signifcantly lower price certainly outweighs the slight color difference. I was surprised that these where just shipped in a flat cardboard envelope without any type of protection. All of the bulbs were in working order however.

These are xenon bulbs, not halogen bulbs. They run cooler and last longer than halogen. Feit is a major national brand, and you'll find their products in all the big box stores. Could be tough to mix with halogens, as these are a higher color temperature. Looked at two different big box stores. Only found halogens at $5.99/$4.99 per bulb. In a fixture properly installed and designed for a xenon bulb, they will give extraordinary life compared to halogens (close to twice). We're using them in under cabinet lights and also in above cabinet lights that shine up for ambient life. Use them a lot and only replace them roughly every 3-4 years.

I usually buy the Hampton Bay OR the only other brand (can't remember the name) they carry at Home Depot at between five and six bucks a shot, so I thought I'd save money and get this three-pack for a savings of roughly 40%. But the bulb is not as bright as the same-spec other and now I've got a bright-white light on one side of my stove, and a dim yellow light on the other. Bummer.

Order a three-pack on 12/01/10 (today is 4/12/2011). Two of the three have burned out already. I've ordered one more two-pack to see if things are better the second time around. At this rate, the cost to have a light in my microwave will run ~ $25 per year. That isn't going to cut it. If this batch proves no better, I'll be looking for a better product.

Ordered from this vendor after having ordered similar Xenon bulb replacements from another vendor that lasted less than one year...barely 6 months, actually. We use these bulbs in our under-cabinet light strips and sure, occasionally we leave them on all night, but not as a general rule, so they should have lasted longer. (Remember to use a cloth or papertowel to handle the bulb before installing...oils on your fingers make them burn out faster.) Fast shipping from this vendor, and almost .50cents less per bulb than any other vendor I found(plus Amazon's free SuperSaver shipping...nice bonus!). The bulbs are supposedly "longer life, 4000 hours". I'm keeping track this time, though.

Sidenote...if you happen to have a cork bulletin board, the spent bulbs make GREAT quirky thumbtacks! :-D My kitchen backsplash is made of wine corks I collected, split, and plastered to make a unique surface, and these little bulbs with their spikey ends are easily used as tacks. I hang keys on them, microplanes, little framed artworks, a mezzaluna, anything lightweight really. Art junque. :-)
