Review on πŸ’‘ Bulbrite Q75CL/MC 120-Volt Halogen JD Type Mini-Candelabra E11 Bulb, 75-Watt - Efficient Lighting Solution for Interiors by Robert Edmondson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Nice bright light but they burn out quickly - expect 200-300 hours not 2000 hours as advertised!

These lamps are bright and beautiful. But they are hardly enough for 1/10 of the specified service life. I only bought this 10 pack a year ago and I've already burned out all 10 bulbs. The first 2 bulbs blew out 2 weeks after installation. I thought they must have been lousy apples. But 10 onions in just 1 year? This is very bad! My lamp holds 5 bulbs at a time, so each bulb lasted me 6 months. This lamp is used little: maybe 1 hour a day on very busy days. With an expected lifetime of 2,000 hours, each of these lamps should have lasted at least 5.5 years. Instead I got 6 months. If the product description says "lasts for 200 hours" I would give these lamps a 5 star rating. After all, they light up REALLY fast and they're nice and bright. But overestimating product lifespan by 900% is just unforgivable. Choose a higher rated product. With Bulbrite halogen lamps you get what you pay for!

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
