Bright, save kwH but fail more than I expected
I've bought these bulbs twice. I accept that the whole 'last 10x longer' than incandescent bulbs is a classic case of over stating a best case lab scenario but these fail more than you would think.<br /><br />I have a new house with new electrics and fittings rated for these types of bulbs, I'm not saying that bulbs coming from this supplier are inherently less reliable, in fact they have been the same as the lowes/home depot bulbs just less expensive.<br /><br />The brightness is great, they warm up quick, out of a box of 24 I've got 9 left (lots of spot lights in my 4 storie house) and out of the 15 I've screwed in, only 1 has been a dud when powered. I.e., it never worked at all. That's decent odds for me.<br /><br />Fast service, bought twice from these guys, the one time they had a stock issue they gave me the offer of a refund or to wait. I waited because I didn't need them particularly quickly but it was great to be consulted, more companies should communicate like that. Consumers generally just want to know what's going on.
