Warm in the bathroom? Bulb

Arrived on time Packaging was terrible; came in a pimply package mail letter if there is a tear (hairline) how long does it last. As for the pace? .may be warmer because of the brightness? BR40?

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Volume

Gives the bathroom a slight warmth

This lamp is better than red infrared because it emits white light like traditional lamps. It is very bright and makes the bathroom a little warmer. I wish it was warmer but other than that a good IR lamp.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Update availability

Great lightbulbs

This lightbulb is great, it takes about a minute before you start to feel warm. It doesn't make any sound, which was a bit strange for me as I'm used to the experience, although I don't see it as a bad thing, just different.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Something different

Lots of light, little heat

This was purchased to work with the Broan-NuTone 162 Type IC Infrared Ceiling Heater with a lamp and fan - when on the light is very bright and the fan is on strong. It radiates very little heat. Would not recommend this bulb if anyone wants heat in the bathroom. This lamp is very disappointing.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Lots of things

All 3 are defective for bulbs

Bought two of these for our bathroom when they arrived the base of one was crumpled so couldn't install it. Got a replacement, installed it but it doesn't work. Decided that 2 out of 3 errors was too many so didn't get a replacement. Then, a few weeks later, the one that worked burned out! Not sure if it was just bad luck but I won't try to buy them again.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Almost never

Long lasting, long lasting incandescent lamp, ideal for the bathroom heating

I rent an apartment with two lamps, a heat source and a lamp with a fan. I live in California where they no longer sell lightbulbs. Most places don't ship lightbulbs to California so I was happy to know that this lightbulb would ship to California and I even ordered three extra lightbulbs. This Westinghouse light bulb has an output of 250 watts and 120 volts. Supposedly 5000 hours. I was replacing a Phillips lightbulb that had been in the bathroom for a little over 2 years before it died. I…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Functionality

Perfect warm shower light

It was better than what it replaced! Brighter, warmer and almost 100% better than the ones I had to replace. Searching for a lightbulb online can be a daunting task as you can't always figure out the size from pictures online. Luckily there was a description on the blown bulb page so I was able to find what I was looking for. This one was pretty cheap and shipping was fast. After I installed it, it looked a lot better than the one I replaced. The old one was never very warm, but this one warmed

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Doesn't generate much heat

In winter I like to leave the infrared light a few feet above my workbench in the garage. This creates a more comfortable working environment. I suspected that this bulb was dim, but just dismissed it as my imagination. However, today I prepared my Coleman ovens for the coming storm. I'm wondering why isn't much heat coming out of this thing? I put in an old GE lightbulb and the difference was very, very significant. I mean, I just couldn't ignore the difference. I've had this lamp for a few…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

NOT YOUR AVERAGE HEAT BULB!

I use them as a popcorn warmer. The warmer bulb is held in a rather tight housing. The lamp gets quite hot, and BEFORE I found these lamps (Westinghouse 03484) I had a terrible time where the base was "stuck" to the socket and the glass part of the bulb came loose from the base when I tried , pulling that burned out lightbulb out of the popcorn. After that, the base remains in the cartridge and the glass part of the bulb is in your hand. You then have to disassemble the hardware and use pliers…

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
