Review on GE Lighting 16774 40 Watt Halogen Bulb: Powerful Illumination for Any Space by Russell Rabbach

Revainrating 1 out of 5

One didn't even last a week!

Like! But they don't last for 10 minutes of use a day! "2.1 YEARS OF DECORATIVE LIGHTS: Spherical bulbs are rated for 2.1 years of use based on 3 hours of daily use. These GE bulbs won't let you down." So can I get my money back? I ordered 2 sets. I have a 6 light fixture in the bathroom next to the bedroom. It's 40 years old. I still have the 3 original bulbs which worked when i saw them my mind said hmm how cute after 40 years it would be nice to change that and put them in place of the round frosted bulbs you can't get anymore I have 3 of them in the pipeline Replaced about 10 years ago they didn't have that frost shade and lasted 10 years but when the 3rd went I made the decision to replace it This bathroom got used quite a bit when we both worked so found these 40 year old bulbs lots of use. Now we brush our teeth morning and night and shower a few times a week. We use the powder room now that we're retired. The first bulb burned out after about a month. Changed since I have two sets. Another burned out a week later. I replaced it. This bulb burned out in less than a week, and then another one next to it burned out. You can't find anything that lasts longer. They say the technology is so advanced! For real? We can't even make the light bulb bigger. I'll use my 3-40 year old lightbulbs if they all burn out. I bet they last another 40 years.

Pros
  • DECORATIVE LIGHTS 2.1 YEAR LIFE: Globe lamps are rated to last 2.1 years with 3 hours of daily use. These GE lamps will not disappoint you.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
