GE 97494 3 Way Light Medium Review

The problem is that within 1 day of use, the highest and lowest settings no longer work. I buy 3 way bulbs for a reason so if only one setting works why bother? you suck

3-way bulb, 50 - 100 - 150 watt bulb, but when you light it, it shines 50, then up to 100 watts and the bulb burns out. Very bad value!

standard GE quality. I have been buying them for many years as I have the same lamps. I love these onions but the price here was better than my local pharmacy and supermarket.

Four of the eight bulbs did not work. I see from other reviews that this is a regular problem. Due to an illness in the family I only had time to test them and the return window was closing.

At the moment it turns out that about half of the bulbs are defective. I can't tell if they were originally defective or damaged in transit. In any case, this will not be my source for future purchases.

Not willing to spend enough to try LED 3-way bulbs. They're inexpensive and seem to be doing a great job so far. Used a cheaper brand (Sunbeam) with no problem until a newer batch started to go bad after a short while.

These bulbs are beautiful and bright. About 3 days. Then they begin to fade. Dimmers, dimmers, dimmers. A 150 watt setup becomes a 40 watt setup. Then the bottom setting burns out. Absolutely terrible light. The WORST I've ever bought. Don't buy them, you will regret it. I am sure.

Three-way bulbs are probably a thing of the past. But since I have several of these lamps, I decided to try them out. The price was right and delivery was quick. Unfortunately, the ones I have seem to have a short lifespan. They go from three to one light in about a month, but at least they still give good light.

Bulbs which work well and are very typical of most other brands. But I've had two that failed in just a few weeks. As where I use them they require a ladder to replace - if it blows out prematurely it's a real pain you know. I would have thought GE would do a better job with this, but I suspect they buy them from China and sell them under their own brand.

Incandescent bulbs were mostly phased out a few years ago, but we have an odd little cabin holiday that's pretty much a time capsule of the late 70's so I kept using them there to keep the retro vibe. Since it's empty most of the time and has electrical resistance, incandescent inefficiency isn't a problem anyway. Unfortunately, lightbulbs aren't what they used to be, even for prestigious brands like GE. It seems they have a problem with the quality of the connection between the lamp and the…
