...they seem to keep going like the Engergizer bunny! It’s kind a weird not having to change bulbs all the time.

That would be nice. Like others have said I find that the quality of bulbs has declined a lot. It seems like I replace them about four times as much as I did twenty years ago. My only concern would be how UPS treats the package but you have to take some chances in life.

..the quality of bulbs has declined a lot.

Grandma and I really, really like the GE "Reveal" bulbs (nice sunlight color to the light), so I've been squirreling the things away out in the shed for the last two years.

Their quality is just plain crap. Not only are they out-of-your-mind fragile and short-lived, but the screw bases on 'em are ALL so poorly made, it's a half-hour job getting a dead bulb out of the socket and a new one to replace it.

I've wound up with a handful of busted glass and another pretty job getting the base out of the socket a few times as well.

Well, I'll just use up the rest of the mess and make them the very last item with "GE" upon it to ever again come into my possession.

GE's pooped in their messkit, as far as I'm concerned.

BTW, if you're trying to get in contact with Newcandescant, wait until Monday....and probably late in the day. I sent 'em an email, and it came back stamped REJECTED - MAIL BOX FULL.

LOL. It would appear that there is a rather warm reception to this outfit going on......

I’ve had one busted bulb busted when it arrived at my doorstep. I decided to forgo a replacement since they last so freaking long. If you consider the cost per hour (rated for 25,000 hours) these are cheapest around!
