Bright and matching socket

This lamp fits well in a 25 year old outdoor lamp. These bulbs do not burn out, but the light emitted is less and less and the fading is almost unnoticeable over the years. The base size is different from ordinary household lamps, and you need to understand what "Tycoon base" and "H38" are. Thirty-eight, I think it's millimeters.

Pros
  • Tools and household goods
Cons
  • High price

Junk Avoid low quality - 2 burned out on arrival

Bought three - first burned out after 2 months, other 2 not lit - junk - avoid. They were purchased to be used in a colonial post top light fixture - similar to those used by residential utility companies. I worked in a public utility and 100 watt mercury lamps lasted 3 years and then slowly dimmed. End of life is when they no longer emit 4,000 lumens of light (so-called foot candles), typically within 5 years. I took a lightbulb from the local power supply and the post top lightbulb works fine

Pros
  • HID bulbs
Cons
  • Available in black only

Garbage! Repeat purchases, the NO lamp lasted three months!

In front of my daughter's house there is a lamp with a 175 W mercury lamp. I figured I'd save her money and buy a 100 watt lightbulb instead. BIG MISTAKE, at least with these pears. I suppose I could send them back with a complaint and ask for another one, but I figured "less than $10 and not worth the time and freight to send them back". Bought another. I bought my first lightbulb from Revain on February 5th. I bought the second one on March 20th. It's May 25th. In any case, several weeks may…

Pros
  • Bulb
Cons
  • Replaceable

Ideal replacement Safety Light Bulb

Ideal lamp replacement for your safety lighting in the driveway. I looked around for a lightbulb but couldn't find it. I found others that looked like they would work, but they weren't MERCURY VAPOR and didn't work. When I installed this bulb, it lit up as expected.

Pros
  • LONG LIFE - These mercury bulbs have an average life of 8000 hours.
Cons
  • Requires socket

Had to replace my old bulb but it lasted so long I forgot how many watts I bought before. Also, I didn't know anything about a larger (Mughal) base. I first went to two hardware stores but they only had the mogul bulb. Then I found and bought this (medium sized bulb) although I was concerned that 100w wouldn't be bright enough. NOT CORRECT. It's VERY bright. I have it above my garage and it lights up my driveway as well as my neighbors. And one more thing. I've only had it for a few days so I'm

Pros
  • MOGUL BASE - larger base (E39) for use in street lamps, parking lights, wall panels, warehouses, factories, ceiling lighting and other commercial and industrial lighting applications. Bulb measures 3.542" dia x 8.176" high
Cons
  • Not sure

Not worth the money: Bulbs

I have a large lamp over the driveway that uses these bulbs. It's about 25 feet tall so while I was fixing the roof and clearing the scaffolding I decided to replace the old one as I didn't know how long it would last (only bought the house 2 years ago). I bought this lamp from Revain, it arrived on time and is as described. Installed the light and about 3 weeks later after very little use I found glass in my driveway. Looking up, I discovered that the glass around the lightbulb was somehow…

Pros
  • HIGH DISCHARGE - This 100 watt bulb produces 4,200 lumens of bright light. Color temperature 3600K. Coated White Glass Lamp
Cons
  • Small Items
