Review on Incandescent 40W Medium Appliance Supply by Russell Roberson

I bought 4 of these lamps so I could have a few more. Living in California with draconian laws, I have a very hard time finding bulbs for my remote controlled ceiling fans. First a lightbulb burned out so I bought one of these. Since it was one of four, I didn't notice that it wasn't as bright as its peers. Another burned down the next day. So I ordered 4 more of these very expensive bulbs so I could have a few on hand. What I immediately noticed was that with two of them in the same fixture, they were significantly dimmer than the original bulbs. With all four bulbs on at full brightness, there is usually enough light to sew or read fine print. Not so with the ones I put in. I'm sure they work well in the fridge or oven, but not for overhead lighting. I'm glad to know that Home Depot sells a 40-watt white incandescent bulb in this short-necked variety. Conventional light bulbs are too long and protrude beyond the glass cover. It looked awful, to say the least. Their only alternative was to spend a few hundred dollars on new ceiling fans with built-in dimmable LEDs. Does not happen.
