💡 Satco S7336 40W (150W) CFL Light Bulb - 2600 Lumens, Daylight White 5000K, Medium Base, 120V Review

I bought my first bulb in 2019. I use it from November to May for my ficus that spends the summer outside. I like the lamp for its brightness and 5000k rating. My ficus loves it too.

UPDATE 3/3/2020: They last about a year with continuous use 12-16 hours a day and about a year. one and a half in the bathroom, where it turns off and on several times a day…
