I loved these bulbs when I first used them as a night light in my living room. They dim the perfect amount of light so you don't have to turn on the big bulb when you get home late or get up in the middle of the night. Only thing is they didn't last very long. If you used them 8-9 hours a day, the first burned out after a month and a half, and the second did not last. The bulbs I had before lasted over a year and weren't that expensive.
