Review on Set of 10 Q75CL MC Candelabra Bulbs by Maurice Strawther

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Significantly cheaper than in hardware stores.

UPDATE 3: Good. finally it happened. In the early hours of August 1, 2021, the first of four lightbulbs finally burned out when I turned on the light. I bought these parts in September 2018. 3 years of daily use, 3-5 hours a day until you finally gave up. And I have one left in a 4-pack to replace. I have already ordered another pack so I have a reserve for 2024. UPDATE 2: It is now June 2020. None of the bulbs I installed have burned out. Do yourself a huge favor and stop buying these lights from the big brands and just buy a pack of these things instead. I'll upgrade again if one of two things happens, either one of those bulbs burns out or the sun does. UPDATE: So I installed these lamps in September 2018. A year has passed and none of them have burned out. I still have a spare. This is after daily use 2-5 hours a day. Why on earth would I buy $9 GE bulbs that will blow out after 1-3 months if I have them? I will not judge the quality of these lamps. Thing is, my bathroom lamp can handle these damn things, and I'm absolutely convinced that any T4 candelabra-style bulb is just plain awful. They last a maximum of 3 months with 1-4 hours of use per day. I've replaced more of those stupid lightbulbs in my entire life than any other part or any maintenance crap. Now I can go to Home Depot or Lowes and pay $9 a bulb for a GE brand version. out of this one and replace all 3 bulbs in my $27 light fixture or I can buy 4 packs here for $11 and end the day there. At least for now, as long as I can find a contractor to build this office room light, I can save some money. They're functionally identical to the 75-watt T4s you can get at Home Depot, only about a quarter of an inch shorter. same brightness. And at $11 for 4, what difference does it make if they burn out in 3 months.
