White but maybe not bright.

I bought the 5000K version and although it was whiter it wasn't actually that much brighter than the 2700K that was originally in the dome light. With 26 watts you just don't get that much light for a darker hallway. When printed, it was cheaper than I've seen elsewhere, and it fitted the 4-pin connector easily.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other models

These are direct light bulbs

This is a great way to get rid of ballast powered compact fluorescent bulbs. It's not that hard to change the lights. The lights were a combination of emergency lighting and stairwell lighting. With these bulbs we used separate emergency lighting. The total cost allowed us to replace the electronic ballast ($20) and emergency ballast ($50) for only about $30.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Great price

Won't light up accidentally, pull them out and flip them over, they work for a while then go out. If I leave them, they randomly start working again. I have 12 in my kitchen so at least 2 won't turn on every time. Very annoying. Stick to the corporate brand. It's not my ballast or electrics, I replaced the brand name and I don't have this problem. I do not recommend.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

Lamp burns out after 20 days of use

We installed this light bulb in our kitchen. After about 20 days of use (several hours a day) the bulb burned out. Luckily it was within the return period and Revain had a replacement ready for us. Absolutely dissatisfied with the quality of the product. Seems to be a quality issue. I noticed that other people had the same problem as well. Wouldn't buy from this brand again.

Pros
  • Average lamp life 10,000 hours
Cons
  • Quick start guide

Beautiful and bright pears! I bought more

Wow I ordered this bulb to replace my central one in the bathroom and it is so clean and bright. It makes my others look yellow. It was so pretty and bright that I'm ordering two more to replace my others that are looking dull now. I just leave them as a last resort until next time I can get more. They've gone up in price since I got mine this weekend, but I'll pay more for them. You are so good!

Pros
  • G24Q-3 4 pin socket
Cons
  • I am texting back

I read other reviews and thought these were just bad coincidences. Pictured (left) is a lightbulb that I replaced which I have used for 6 years with no problems and still works well. (middle and right) are sunlight bulbs that only worked for 2 days. I wanted 5000,000 daylight lights versus the 2700,000 amber lights that have been in my house for years. These bulbs died within two days. Replaced my old bulbs with the same wattage and pin headers. There must be a reason Sunlite is the only…

Pros
  • 3500K color temperature, soft white
Cons
  • Discontinued
