It works. What more can I ask from a light bulb?

For those complaining about short bulb life, did you install the bulb with your bare fingers? Smaller bulbs must be handled differently (example, think headlights), NEVER touch them with your bare hands. The oil from your hands will cause them to run hotter and/or overheat, thus shortening your bulb life. I installed it with paper towel touching the bulb (didn't have gloves), it was a hassle but necessary.

I ordered this for a desk lamp that I use about 15 - 20 hours per week. I couldn't believe that it only lasted a few months! So I am back online now ordering a different brand. I bet it lasted me about 250 - 300 hours tops.

Almost an identical replacement to the one in my desk lamp. Arrived timely and I'm once again illuminated and enlightened.

I don't quite know what to make of it. The bulb fits in my lamp, the circuit closes (I can hear a pop from some nearby speakers), but there's no light. I won't bother filing a claim with Amazon for a couple of bucks, but I felt I should share my experience with prospective buyers.

The bulb lights up as advertised. I took precaution not to touch the bulb with my bare hands so I'm hoping it will last.

what can i say, you hit the switch and they turn on, light helps me see when it is dark. they don't seem to last very long.

I've bought these lamps in bulk before, I have about 15 fixtures in my house that take these lamps, the lamps last for years, so I don't have to buy very often. For this order I purchased ten thinking each one would come in it's own little cardboard box. Wrong! Each one was in a piece of plastic that was attached to a large cardboard card and then individually enclosed in a large heavy plastic bag. Ridiculous, wasteful, stupid packaging. Amazon,please, please, give some indication of how things are packaged. This item has several part numbers, I could not tell what, if any, the difference is, maybe it's packaging? Packaging influences my purchasing decisions, it doesn't take much to be smart about it. Help me out........
