Review on πŸ’‘ Powerful PLT 26W 841 GX24Q 3 Compact Fluorescent Bulb: Efficient Illumination Solution by Jump Robinson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

These Sunlite bulbs don't last long

I ordered 6 of these bulbs 4 years ago and they all broke. My previous lamps have lasted about 8 years. Not only did they fail prematurely, the glass tubing on them became detached from the plastic base. A closer look reveals that the plastic around the glass tubes has melted. This makes it very difficult to remove the bulb when it goes out. As you can see from my photos the pipes broke trying to pull them out. That's how it was with all those Sunlite bulbs. You will also notice that the bulbs will start to tilt after some time after being installed in the socket. This is because the plastic around the pipes wears away, which can cause them to tilt to one side or the other.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Reliability
