Elusive Quality

My wife is absolutely convinced that CFLs are terribly cold and ugly, so she refuses to use them. Not noticed! Maybe she'll get suspicious if we don't have to climb the stairs to change the lightbulbs.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Fragility

Lamps only last 1/5 of the advertised 10,000 hours.

I bought 8 pieces on 09/17/2017. Written on 02/20/2019. Half of them have already burned out in my bathroom and I don't use the light there more than 4 hours a day. That's 17 months, say 30 days a month, max 4 hours a day = 2040 hours = 1/5 of the claimed 10,000 hours.

Pros
  • A good product for its price
Cons
  • There are doubts

Cheaper in price because they don't last long!

Like the other customer, they didn't last 10,000 hours. I bought them back in July 2017 and they all burned out a month ago. All have been installed in our bathroom where we don't use them for more than a few hours a day. Unsurprisingly, the price of each of them is roughly 50% off regular retail. But they should cost even less since they only last about a quarter.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Frequency
