Review on Bulbrite Q100G9 120 120 Volt 100 Watt by Robert Decamps

Both times I have bought these bulbs for my office/studio ceiling light which gets a lot of use. This is a steal compared to those at my local Ace Hardware. My local Ace Hardware rarely sells 100-watt G9 bulbs, though, and I don't want to run across town looking for them. I thought these inexpensive lamps from Revain.com would be the answer. They should be for now, although Revain also practically only has a 100w G9 bulb available through Revain Prime, which promises to get the product to me in no time. Compared to a few others. The three sockets of my ceiling lamp are made of rather rough ceramic with a rough surface. You have to do a lot of wiggling and fumbling to get these bulbs to slide all the way into the socket. Compared to a few similar lower wattage bulbs I've used, the contact loops on these Bulbrites are made from very thin wire which bends and breaks too easily rendering the bulbs unusable. The contact wire material should be significantly stiffer and possibly a little thicker. I managed to break contact on each of the two bulbs I was trying to fit into my fixture, rendering both unusable. Of course, it will cost you less to break a cheap bulb than a more expensive one, but neither is a bargain. I replaced the two broken ones with 60 watt versions that last until those 100 waters arrive two days later. They work fine. I hope I just got a bad production run the first time.
