Description of 💡 Bulbrite 40T8C Dimmable Showcase Incandescent: Versatile Lighting Solution for Highlighting Displays

SPECIFICATIONS: This package includes a single T8 incandescent bulb with an E26 base. Each bulb is 40 watts with a clear glass finish. Each bulb is 12 inches top to bottom, but the glass on this bulb is about 11 inches long. Also available in frost. LONG LASTING: Save money and time replacing these bulbs due to fewer burnouts. Each incandescent bulb is estimated to last about 2,000 hours. Each dimmable bulb is 40 watts and disperses light evenly throughout the bulb itself and to the room beyond. MULTIPLE USES: Perfect for sign and display applications or for your bathroom vanity. These oversized bulbs have a unique tube shape and length meaning they fit in vintage Christmas trees, and other unique fixtures where small tubular bulbs won't cut it. TWO FINISHES: Available in clear and frost finishes for various types of lighting. These incandescent bulbs are fully dimmable and can be used in any standard E26 base. Frost finishes diffuse the light for a softer effect. Perfect for your next home improvement project. UNIQUE SIZE: Each bulb is 1.25 inches x 1.25 inches x 12 inches. But the bulb's MOL, or the distance from the top of the base to the tip of the bulb, is 11 inches. Each bulb weighs 2.98 ounces. Not a standard bulb, these require a unique fixture or usage.

Ideal for lightbulbs

Perfect for my ceramic Christmas tree! I was worried I wouldn't be able to find another one as the original is probably over 20 years old.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Ok for the most part, but...

Bad product: light bulbs

Bought this product in February 2020. It's May 2020 and one has already blown. These decorative bulbs almost never burn. Not happy with them. My other original lamp lasted a year.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • will write later

Not 11 or 12 inches!

Good lamps but too short for my needs. I'm not sure if I misunderstood that. They were advertised as a 12" or 11" but look more like a 10 1/2", note in the photo this is the smallest size. Unfortunately I need the advertised length.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Operating speed

Took a week - Bulbs

I ordered this bulb to replace the ones on my mother's ceramic Christmas tree that she had for many years. This lamp lasted a week. That's a lot of money for a lightbulb for a week. Conditions on the box last 2000 hours. Didn't even last a week.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Compatibility

Bright light for bulbs

My wife collects old ceramic Christmas trees, many of which are quite tall. These 11" bulbs really do light up the top tree "lanterns" which the shorter 4" bulbs don't. Now I don't need to hear her complain about it anymore. . . what is CHRISTMAS doing!

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Some bugs

Special size for ceramic trees

I also bought this bulb to replace an old bulb of the same size that burned out in my large ceramic tree. Unfortunately it is not true to size (it is actually shorter than advertised) and appears to be of poorer build quality than the original lamp it replaced. It appears to be custom sized and I suspect it will be difficult to find such a bulb in the near future. It should work for now, but I seriously doubt its durability based on the price and other reviews. When that bulb eventually burns…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • old

Very cool for accent lights etc. Warm light.

This lamp produces a very warm light (around 2500K to my well-trained eye) and is great for applications that require a very long bulb. I have a floor lamp wrapped in fabric filaments where the light shines between the filaments and this very long bulb looks so much better than a regular bulb and WAY better than any CFL.

Pros
  • TWO FINISHES: Available in clear and frosted finishes for different types of lighting. These bulbs are fully dimmable and can be used with any standard E26 socket. The frosty finish diffuses the light for a softer effect. Perfect for your next DIY project
Cons
  • I don't remember

I'm happy with: Bulbs

I bought two of these bulbs despite previous not so good reviews Headlights arrived intact, I tested them, they work and the packaging was good enough to protect it.I won't be using it for a while but my pendant light is elongated and the bulb illuminates the interior nicely.Yes I would recommend this product to a friend if anyone needs this size.

Pros
  • UNIQUE SIZE: Each bulb measures 1.25" x 1.25" x 12". But the MOL of the lamp or the distance from the top of the base to the top of the lamp is 11 inches Each bulb weighs 2.98 ounces Not a standard bulb, they require a unique bracket or use
Cons
  • Not sure

2 bulbs - 10 minutes total light

I really liked this lamp - if it worked its long narrow shape and 75 watt output would solve my unusual closet lighting problem perfectly. I bought the first lightbulb - I was happy for 10 minutes, then it burned out. Sent back for a replacement, no refund. The second bulb would not screw into the lamp at all - incredibly, its base was so deformed that it could not be screwed in. Other non-bulbrite bulbs in the fixture work fine (but they are shorter than I would like).

Pros
  • SPECIFICATIONS: This set contains a T8 bulb with an E26 fitting. Each bulb is 40W with clear glass cover. Each bulb is 12 inches long from top to bottom, but the glass of this bulb is about 11 inches long. Also available in Frosty
Cons
  • Only available in white
