Each bulb has been very well protected in its little box and then shrink wrapped and bubble wrapped. I've only opened one box so far. If it lasts as long as the original lamp, it will be a long time before I get to the others. I'll get back to you if it doesn't take that long.
Excellent quality, excellent price. Arrived quickly. All of my ceiling fans use these bulbs and they have been hard to find in the store. The originals that came with the fans were matte but I wanted to try the clear ones and I'm so glad I did. I get the best light from them. I hope I can always get them here.
The first lamp I tried didn't light up, the second did. The remaining three are conjectures. I'll know if they work when I try them. This seems to be a common complaint about these types of lamps. They either work well or not at all. I wonder if this is a production or delivery issue? So definitely order more than one at a time or you could be the salt.
