Review on Efficient and Cozy Illumination: MaxLite Warm White GU24 Spiral Bulb by Charles Adelaja

I hate them for the lightbulbs

Okay, so the code for new homes in my area calls for these tiny things for the closets because obviously regular lightbulbs were fiery death traps just waiting in the wings. When 2 years later the first of a whole pack burned down in our new house, I took one to the home camp where no one saw it. In desperation, I ordered a 4-pack from Revain. The first one I put in my son's closet burned out the second time I turned on the light. What's so frustrating is that these things have two pins instead of a screw back, so I'm going to stick with them. The tiny cover for it makes it impossible to install a different sized bi-pin light bulb unless you simply remove the cover. I really don't want my kids to get mercury poisoning from a lightbulb that breaks without a cap, so I'm sticking with them. .
