Amazon.com Product Description

The Grandrich ES-101 and ES-201 EZ Reader 27-watt fluorescent replacement bulb simulates outdoor sunlight, which is balanced across the entire spectrum of color visible to the human eye. This is the clearest, brightest, and most comfortable lighting you will ever use. Full-spectrum light helps reduce eye strain, provides more vivid colors and better contrast for reading, and creates sharp visibility for more detail. It is glare free making it ideal for computer use. The 10,000 hour bulb life lasts 6-10 times longer than standard bulbs and yet uses two-thirds less energy than an equivalent 100-watt incandescent bulb. This bulb will not hum or flicker and is a safe and cool alternative to incandescent and halogen bulbs. The bulb insures you will see more comfortably for reading, working, and all close up tasks and hobbies. It has earned the Energy Star certification.--Bree Norlander

5.0 out of 5 stars INSTALL CORRECTLY!!!, April 13, 2009

If you have trouble with the lamp going on and off or not working at all, it is most likely NOT SNAPPED IN ALL THE WAY....and they are a real bear to get installed all the way in the socket...Had the same problems with my own lamp till I figured it out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Life is NOT 10,000 hours, February 1, 2006

10,000 hours = 416 days. In other words, more than a year.

I bought this replacement bulb on Oct 6, 2005. Today is the first of Feb. 2006--it died. Assuming that I never turned off the lamp during those 3 months, my math tells me that in order for the bulb to burn out I must have had the lamp on for 111 hours/day for five months. (111 hours x 30 days x 3 months = 9990 hours.) Only, I never quite lived a 111 hour day yet.

If I figure I used the lamp for no more than 6 hrs/day for those 3 months. I only got 540 hours out of it. However you look at it, it seems this bulb missed the mark on the 10,000 in a premature death.

I have had a Grandrich floor lamp for a couple of years. Went through one bulb in that time. The last time it flickered and died, I ordered a replacement bulb from Amazon. That one still didn't work. It turned out to be a bad electrical outlet in my apartment. After the manager replaced the outlet...no problems! I don't want to say that others with bad results had electrical problems, but that was true in my case. I will not hesitate to order replacement bulbs from Amazon.
