Review on ⚡ Satco S8205 Mini Spiral CFL Soft White Light Bulb - Energy-efficient GU24 Base, 18W (75W), 1200 Lumens, 2700K by Linda Diaz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The base is too loose and wobbles

I wanted to use less watts for my outdoor lighting than the 13W/GU24 CFL base that came with the fixture. I don't know why, but that particular GU24 pin base of that particular bulb doesn't fit securely in that lamp. It looks the same, but doesn't mount and connect properly. It's loose and wobbly so doesn't stay plugged in to catch fire. Who would have thought that there were problems with a lightbulb? Edit - After some struggle a strong friend finally managed to get this to work.
