Review on Simba LightingTM Shorter Halogen Bi-Pin Bulb by Ethan Carpenter

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Correct specs, wrong size bulbs, terrible packaging

Small halogen bulbs are expensive so instead of three xenon brand bulbs at Lowes for $12 I bought these. All the specs on these bulbs are the same as all the specs on the xenon bulb kit except the actual part of the bulb is huge and out of the light so I can't reattach the protective lens. You might think that the same characteristics are suitable for the same lamps. And whoever packed them threw them into a giant box along with a six-pound desk book and 48 AA batteries that weighed 2.5 pounds (I weighed them). When I received the package, the box of lightbulbs was crushed and so individual lightbulbs were scattered all over the inside of the larger box.
