4.0 out of 5 stars Good bulb -- uncommon though
Amazon seems to be one of the few places I can buy this bulb. If you can, avoid buying anything that needs this bulb. It also contains mercury so if it breaks, it's not good. But the bulb works just fine and lights my desk.

3.0 out of 5 stars Short life span
Definitely seemed like a good deal for a hard to find lightbulb for my pendant kitchen light. However, I haven't even had it for 2 months and it already died. It says 9 year life span for 3 hour/day use. I probably used it for 9 hours a day (leaving it on through the night), so when I did the math, it should still last about 3 years. Not even close. I have no choice...

I have no choice but to order another because it's so hard to find... maybe it was a fluke.

5.0 out of 5 stars *NOT* a standard screw-in bulb., December 30, 2009

Hi,

I bought a $5 desk lamp at the grocery store, and liked it a lot. After a year the included 7-year life compact florescent bulb failed, and I discovered the bulb had an unusual GU24 base. Look at the pins on the bottom of the bulb in the picture. Home depot doesn't stock this type of bulb, so I almost threw the lamp away, then decided to order a bulb through amazon.

The bulb came safely though the mail protected in a plastic sleeve. Installed OK. Works fine.

NOTE: like all CF bulbs, this one contains Mercury. If it arrives broken do not open the plastic package. Do recycle when the bulb eventually fails. Home Depot will take bulbs purchased anywhere.

I just wanted to update my last review. I had ordered this light bulb and it came broken, after writing a review I was contacted by the seller and they sent me out a new bulb. I received the new bulb today and it is perfect!

Purchased a new bathroom ceiling fan at Home Depot only to find out they did not stock the correct light bulb for it, so after visiting two more stores with no luck I went to Amazon and found it in minutes and had it delivered. Saved a lot of gas not driving around

1.0 out of 5 stars Died within 45 days, November 4, 2011

This review is from: Globe 13-Watt Ultra-Mini Compact Fluorescent Spiral Bulb, GU24 Base, Soft White #3560601 (Tools & Home Improvement)
The bulb was used for about twelve hours a day and it died within 45 days. It looks nice and would be a great deal if it lasted longer.

Really hard to but this kind of light bulb elsewhere, I'm glad to see Amazon offer it after searching a lot of places.
The light bulb itself is good. It doesn't take a while to light up, unlike some other CFLs and it is energy-saving~

This item came well packaged and intact. I picked up a lamp from a thrift store that required this kind of light and thought I wouldn't be able to find one anywhere (I looked in many places). Amazon had it dirt cheap so I picked one up. It's been 3-4 months now and no problems. It's on WAY more often than not (I need it for doing makeup in the morning and I use the lamp in one area of my room at night so I can see around if I need to get up)and this hasn't flickered, dulled or died. Would recommend.

The first one we received was packaged with only a piece of brown paper halfway rolled around it in a box. it arrived smashed to smithereeens.

The replacement item was packaged somewhat better, and after about six weeks is still working.
