Review on Westinghouse Halogen Double-Ended Bulb: High Brightness 100W, 1400 Lumens, Clear Bulb, T3 Size, Unlensed, 2900K Warm Light - Carded by Paul Massey

Should have listened to other reviews. Everything about them looked fine upon arrival except the ceramic ends were a little dirty. Installed a lightbulb (with gloves, without bare hands). He died in less than 45 minutes. Installed the 2nd bulb. Died 40 minutes later. Installed the 3rd lightbulb. The same thing. These are 3 out of 6 installed lights in good working condition that couldn't even last an hour. The packaging states that they must last 1500 hours. The other 3 are still in their packs. Even if the packaging looks good, I assume a manufacturing defect or a counterfeit. If they are secondary or not quite perfect, this should be noted in the description.
