Works great with incandescent bulbs

Exactly what I needed. Worked great in my XL wax melters when the recommended lamp type/wattage wasn't melting the wax.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some difficulty

Not the best buy.: Lightbulbs

The lightbulbs arrived broken and it was a bit of a hassle to get a refund. They wanted to give them back the broken glass. I didn't want a big cut.

Pros
  • Consistent Test Results
Cons
  • Update Availability

Unannounced socket

Someone in the company didn't pay attention to the lamps ordered. Everything about the bulb was fine except for the base. The description states that the E12 candelabra base is small. It was about the socket E26. pear size. Obviously that won't work. Sent back and ordered a different brand. I didn't want to work with the same company.

Pros
  • Top marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Repair

Small bulb, provides plenty of light

These lights are very small. Just the right size for a small bedside lamp. Although small, they provide enough light for my husband and I to read a book. Great find. Most small lightbulbs do not produce enough light for reading. Our bedroom is approximately ten feet by twelve. The bedside lamp is next to the bed. The pears were carefully packed. All details were intact. There are no fragments.

Pros
  • 320 lumens provide soft, soothing light
Cons
  • Not sure

Bright light and 2 packs

I bought a small lamp and this is the lamp size I needed for it. Has been working fine since February 2019 but last night I dropped the cap on the lamp. The lamp didn't break, which made me very happy, but the lightbulb died. So I went back to Revain to see if I could add the one or two bulbs I bought. Luckily I had another one in the back room. The little light is working properly now so everything will be ready when I go to bed. Highly recommended. It's a very bright light and works well.

Pros
  • Estimated annual energy cost $4.82 @ 3 hours per day $0.11 per kWh
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Pretty but useless

I bought these bulbs for my mini lamp that I keep on my vanity. They arrived quickly and in good condition. They screwed easily into the lamp and started working immediately. They give off a really nice glow, quiet for the evening BUT they don't serve my purpose of having a light to help me see better while doing makeup. My desk is in the darker part of my room, so having the blinds open helps a little to alleviate the shadows the windows cast on my face, but now that I'm working the night…

Pros
  • G16.5 globe with chandelier base for vanity
Cons
  • Quick instructions
