Product Description

From the Manufacturer

GE 12257 Warm White 25-Inch Bright Stik 33-Watt 12257-FBS25/WX/PP GE Warm White Bright Stik T12 Bulb T12 Base: Standard Wall Plug, wattage: 33 Initial Lumens 725 Color Temperature 3450 K Color Rendering Index (CRI) 59, Rated Life: 7500 hours. 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.

Simple solution for light without much energy. Great for use over a stove, In a laundry room or to take camping and hang for a reading or task light.
They last for four or five years if used daily.

What can I say about the bright sticks? I ordered several of these GE 12257 Bright stick instant fluorescent lighting, 25 tube, 6-ft. cord, because I use them in my kitchen under the overhead cabinets. The price is definitely right, much cheaper than full price. They arrived in fine shape although there was a bit less packing material in the box than I would have liked. Apparently it was adequate.

I've used these lamps as a reading light over my bed for years - they last about 5 years, and when the last one ran out I was recuperating at home from surgery and dreaded having no reading light and not being able to go out and buy one. Actually you can't buy these in the stores, and this was the second time I've bought one over the Internet - it worked out perfectly again - item well packed, too!
