We use these in small electric candles to light up our windows at night and I'm glad we ordered a dozen of these because less than 6 months after ordering we had the last three left! They didn't last half as long as their branded competitors, but again, they were significantly cheaper. They came in a brown cardboard box with no markings, no embellishments, with separate baffles for each bulb (see photo in someone else's review), and none of them broke, but they are fragile - two just burned out because the bulb went on pair of fallen feet . Carpet. The remaining seven burned out, presumably due to poorly manufactured filaments.
