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.

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.

I was really pleased to find this replacement bulb and at a great price. The light is so natural and I found it lasted as long as the original. I am an avid reader, and I find the light from this 27-watt replacement bulb reduces eyestrain and even helps lift my spirits on dark or rainy days.Grandrich EZ Reader 27-Watt Fluorescent Bulb #PL-27W

I just purchased the CS101 floorlamp for my wife for a Christmas present. The bulb lasted less than 20 hours and the company would not honor the warranty because I bought this light from Amazon. We had this product for less than 2 months as it was a present.

Purchased two bulbs. Both burned out within a couple of hours.
Worst product I have ever purchased from Amazon.

Seems that Amazon is the place to get what you want for a reasonable price!!
Looked high and low for this product and couldn't find it any cheaper and received it quick.

I read many reviews for this kind of bulb. I miss my lamp and depend on it especially in the winter. I settled on this one for the price and overall reviews. The bulb lasted two weeks. Lame.

Good product and way cheaper than the last one my Mom bought.(about 1/2)
She uses it for reading the paper and gets her UV at the same time.

Bought 2 of these bulbs to replace original in Grandville floor lamp. The original lasted over 2 years, until I broke it. These replacements are bad . 1 lasted for 3 months, the other 20 minutes. Don't waste your money on these bulbs.
