Used on a few vintage lamps.
Garage door openerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I found exactly what I was looking for.
A perfect match for a hard-to-find item.
These bulbs have two flaws that I don't think are worth mentioning. The first is that they aren't nearly as bright as the corresponding wattage of an incandescent bulb, and I've purchased both 40 and 60 watt equivalent bulbs. Second, I installed these in a number of my lamps that were controlled by dimmer switches, and guess what? They don't work. br>As I previously stated, the concept is sound, but the technology could be improved.
I'm constantly replacing light bulbs around the house, so I've purchased a variety of "long life" light bulbs to save myself some time. This (GE Energy Smart 10w 9. ) is a great way to save money. 1 Year Life) is the first one to deliver on its promises. I'm out shopping for more not because it's gone out of style, but because I realized I'd better get some before they're no longer available. True, this bulb doesn't shine as brightly as a standard 40w bulb. That's a plus in my book. Because the light is quite yellow, I wouldn't call it "soft white. " Again, for my purposes, this is a benefit. If you're looking for something that will last a long time, this is the place to be. This is it: a life bulb with a standard base that conceals the bulb itself.
