Feit Electric ESL13T ECO Replacement Review

I bought the bulb a few years ago and it came with this brand of bulb. They are energy efficient and will last for years. I highly recommend them.

These bulbs are Energy Star certified, RoHS compliant and should last 'up to 9 years' of typical household use. It is believed that the long life compensates the high cost of these 'eco' lamps. Our 9 years turned into about a year in a newly installed fixture. I'm starting to think I want my old lightbulb back.

ESL13T/ECO same packaging as shown. When I was doing an energy audit, a nice guy gave me 6 of them about a year ago. Used one to replace a burned out regular good old 60 watt fan as part of a 4 bulb bedroom fan kit but only used briefly. I have another light for reading etc. I just noticed a light burned out for a while. yes, it should be durable. Other old 60's that were original when we bought the house 4 years ago still haven't burned down.
