1.0 out of 5 stars Nice when it works, January 23, 2010

This review is from: Lights Of America #9166B 65W Fluorescent Replacement Bulb (Misc.)

This is NOT a review of Amazon, but a review of the bulb. I bought four of the #9266 lights which each came with a 9166B bulb. All of them worked when I first installed them, but a week later one of the lights quit working. I swapped bulbs between two of the units and determined that the bulb was bad. For as expensive as these things are I expect them to be more reliable. I've had similar disappointments with other fluorescent lights from Lights of America. Considering that the lights are made in China, why do they have this name? The only way I can see to get a reliable light is to buy several and throw away the bad ones. Not very cost effective. I wish somebody else made these things.

As for the claim that they put out the equivalent of 500W, I used these to replace four 400W metal halide lights. There is no way these put out as much light as my old lights, but I am glad to be rid of the high electric consumption and the buzzing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, not very bright, January 15, 2010

I wished that I would have checked this bulb out better. It is not bright at all, my flashlight is brighter than this light. I going to put my mercury vapor bulb back in because of better lighting for security reason. It may work better with 240 volt, However for regular yard light it will not work. Save you money and look around and don't throw away the receipt or box.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Lights Of America #9166B 65W Fluorescent Replacement Bulb (Misc.)

Bought this light bulb and it was the wrong one. So, when I contacted the sender, I was informed that I would not only have to pay the reshipping cost but there would also be a $5 restocking fee. It is a ligtbulb, not an air conditioner!
It was not worth it for me to send it back. This practice of charging a restocking fee (regardless of the product) sucks and needs to be changed if they ever want my business again.
