Bought a lightbulb for my lamp and it came within days of me buying the item. Unfortunaly the lightbulb was damaged in transit to my house. As soon as I told them I my story, I was received a new bulb again within days, free of charge! The new bulb works great and was what I was looking for.

I wanted to make a quick pause to not only rate that the light bulb I got from Atlanta Light Bulbs was in perfect condition (they have a wrapping system that makes it almost impossible to get any type of shock impacting the content of the package) but also to highlight the very nice and good customer service they have. By mistake, I ordered the incorrect light bulb size and working with Ben was more than a good experience overall. He not only let me know that this was not a problem and that he would reassure to sending me the correct piece but he was very thorough in explaining the whole process.

All in all, I would strongly recommend Atlanta Light Bulb company to anyone needing a special type of light bulbs. Sometimes, it is not until you get in trouble that you get to see how valuable a provider may be and Atlanta Light Bulbs went beyond the level of expectations I had.

I would buy from them again when times arrives !

I purchased this bulb because the original was becoming very dim due to old age. (7 years) Installed bulb and turned on. Bulb glowed at base for one second and went out, then totally dead. Reinstalled old bulb which worked fine. fortunately the company I purchased the new bulb from through Amazon gave me full credit and didn't want the old bulb returned. (Econotone, Inc., 1059 58th St., Brooklyn, NY 11219) Excellent service.

The contacts are slimmer than the original. Sometimes it took minutes to turn on.

Sometimes I could turn it on by jiggling it.

It no longer works and the bulb ends are darker, like it was very old.

The shipping charges were $10!

I do not want to waste more $ returning it when a replacement might be the same.

If anyone at amazon reads this, please acknowledge and credit my money!!!

The WORST! Because it arrived BROKEN!

I purchased a second buld from a different Amazon vendor -- It also arrived broken. Identical, totally inadequate Amazon packaging from both vendors. And then there is the time-consuming hassle of the returns.

One would assume that with so much previous feedback about these bulbs arriving broken, multiple times to the same customer, that Amazon would have corrected the problem. Bad assumption on my part!

Save yourself time and trouble - go buy the higher-priced bulb from your local hardware store. You'll pay more, but it will cost you a lot less.

Do NOT buy until Amazon says they have addressed the problem.

I have now ordered three of these light bulbs because they keep arriving broken! The first two rattled as soon as I took them out of the box but I'm hoping the third time will be the charm. How frustrating! I'm not sure if they are just defective bulbs or if it's poor packaging. I'll update the review IF I ever receive one that works...

**Updated**--I received the new bulb today and guess what?! It rattled too and wouldn't work. So of course I'm returning it and am giving up. It will be cheaper (and less frustrating) to just buy a new lamp. :-/

Received item quickly and as described. Price was nearly half what other sites were selling it for.
