Review on 💡 SleekLighting 23W 120V Approved Ballasted Fluorescent by Paul Hyde

We ordered these bulbs to replace bulbs that came with a light we installed about five years ago . The original bulbs that came with it lasted so long. Those spare bulbs suck. First, they weren't packaged well enough and one arrived broken. We had to send them all back to get replacements. We've had them for four months now and one after the other have burned out or smelled like burnt rubber. So we have to replace them again in just three months! And to top it off, this brand is the only correct replacement I could find, so I had to re-order it. I lowered the power hoping that would help. This is a review, so if other people have found options other than this brand, do so. We live in a small town and this was our option. Our only option. Hopefully less power works better.
