Review on Bulbrite E12 40W T3 Dimmable Xenon Light Bulb, Frosted Soft White 1 Pack - KX40FR/E12 by Jason Pruett

We have a fixture in our front entry that holds two candelabra bulbs (E12 size). That fixture is what I turn on when I walk in the front door, so it needs to be pretty bright, but the incandescent bulbs that I've been able to find in E12 are really wimpy: something like 25 or 40 watts are typical values. The bulbs that had been in there blew out a while ago, and I went on a quest to find something that would do a better job. I found some fluorescent bulbs from Ikea, but they're terrible: not very much light, and very long warm-up times. I was about to give up and buy a fixture with standard E26 sockets when I came across these. They're a world of improvement: instant startup, good color temperature, and very bright. As long as they last a good length of time, I'll be happy to buy more of them in the future.
