We have purchased a Robert Abbey chandelier which required 4 candelabra bases. If only I knew how fast these bulbrites die, I would never have bought them. I received two at the end of March this year so I will have a backup right after using one. I've had three. Today I had to replace the first of the two. If I had to do the same thing with three others, it would mean I'd be spending about $90 a year on lighting, which we use primarily for dinner. This makes me very angry. Since they were supposed to last 3,000 hours, I was willing to bite the bullet for a ten year investment. But current performance tells me I might as well throw the money in the hole and light it.
