We use them in small electric candles to light up windows at night and I'm glad we ordered a dozen of these as we're less than 6 months behind placed an order, we're on our last three! They didn't last half as long as their branded competitors, but again, they were significantly cheaper. They arrived in an unmarked, unadorned brown box with individual baffles for each bulb (see photo in another review) and none of them broke, but they are fragile - two just burned out from the bulb falling a few feet . Carpet. The remaining seven burned out, presumably due to poorly manufactured filaments.
