These bulbs are a true bright purple. When I took them out of the box the bulbs looked white so I was confused, but when I put them in the street light they glowed a bright, rich color. I love her! I don't know how long they will last as they were only installed a few days ago but being LED bulbs I would assume they will last for quite a while. Considering we live in an older area, I've occasionally encountered sudden power outages that have destroyed my LED lights (which is why I always buy incandescent bulbs, not built-in bulbs), so I'm not ruling out it could happen here, but other than that I'm optimistic.
