Works as expected, good for bulbs

As the other review is about the supplier and not the bulbs I decided to give my review. Each bulb comes in its own little box and then all 10 were packed tightly in a large box filled with lots of peanuts which I thought was fine but if the box was dropped or thrown away it still was don't have values, and chances are good that at least one or more of the bulbs will go bad. If anyone has ever been to a UPS or FedEx warehouse they know that packages are NOT always handled with care or fall off pallet trucks and conveyor belts during sorting etc. However, I ordered 20 bulbs and both boxes were fine. I used 18 of these to mount them on a wooden frame around a large makeup mirror for my wife. I really wanted daylight spectrum bulbs, but they were very hard to find and two different bulbs I found cost $10 to $20 each. I'll probably change them one day, but so far they're fine. Lamps are ordinary soft white (yellowish) bulbs. They're bright enough at 18, but I've also ordered a dimmer if she wants to dim them a bit. The description doesn't say if the bulbs are dimmable, but I hope so. They also emit very little heat. After leaving it on for 20 minutes I was still able to touch the bulb and unscrew it while it was on with no issues. I'll let you know once I've installed the dimmer if there are any problems. I've also included a picture of the lightbulbs I clicked on while working on the project.
