3.0 out of 5 stars 1 broken bulb in the package, May 24, 2009
Well, they are light bulbs, they either work or they don't. Or, in my case, one bulb in the package was broken. The package wasn't crushed during shipment, and the tip that was broke off wasn't in the box, looks like it was packed that way. The only good news here is I found it before I got to the last bulb in the carton.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a quality product, August 7, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought these bulbs with the idea of going green... little did I know it was going to cost me green.
Within a week and a half two out of the three bulbs I installed have burned out. I double checked and tried screwing them in a bit more just in case they somehow became loose in the fixture. They burned out far too quickly.
2 out of 3 is not acceptable.
I would suggest these are not the bulbs to buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great bulb, no problems...., April 22, 2009
By Morley Dotes "morleydotes" (Flushing, New York USA) - See all my reviews
I use these in most places throughout my house, and they do save money. I have not had any break, and they last a very long time, much longer than a regular bulb. This price is very good, and less than my local "wholesale" club. Also, you are doing a little extra to help the environment. Keep in mind that this is a fluorescent bulb and so cannot be put on a dimmer (well, I think there is a dimmer that can be used specifically for fluorescents, but if you have it, you will know). If you are not sure which dimmer you have, you likely do not have the right one for this bulb. I find it takes just a few seconds for the bulb to come to full power in the cold and in the house it comes up like a regular bulb. One last note, the end of the bulb is not as rounded and may not fit in some fixtures. It is not much different, but worth noting for those rare fixtures. The last two are my reason for 4 stars. I would have been happier giving it 4.5 stars, but that isn't possible.
