Lifetime of over 8000 hours as stated on the packaging.

I installed an outdoor light on the front of my one story home, pointing directly at the front gate and stairway leading down from the street below. It well illuminates the spot where a stranger can stand and unlock the gate. It always had an amber PAR38 (85W - 100W) spotlight - bright enough to illuminate the area and shine a would-be intruder in the face, but not one of those nasty blue and white security lights that spoil the atmosphere of a peaceful evening It's sharp, an overwhelming light

Pros
  • ENERGY EFFICIENT – With a power consumption of only 23 watts, these compact fluorescent lamps produce as much light as a 100 watt incandescent lamp. Your estimated energy cost is $2.77 per year at 3 hours per day at $0.11 per kWh.
Cons
  • Reliability

Red pears give off a pink tinge.

Very light. No complaints except that the color does not match that declared. I bought two red bulbs, but the actual color the bulbs produce is blue-purple-red (pink). It's quite surreal and a bit uncomfortable on the eyes due to the blue color. A bit like red and black light at the same time.

Pros
  • HOLIDAY LIGHTING. Set the mood by simply swapping out the bulbs and adding some color. Perfect for parties, special occasions and holiday decorations. Great for showing your support for a special occasion or just to add some color to any day.
Cons
  • Wrinkled

Almost good. for compact fluorescent lamps

I bought a pair of these lights for Christmas. Tired of paying for electricity to light up traditional 100 watt spotlights. At first I was very happy with these lamps. They just felt warm, not hot enough to fry an egg. So, in terms of efficiency, they were much better. The original brightness and color were also equal or even better than the old style lamps. The problem was that after 1-2 weeks of outdoor use, the beautiful blue color was almost gone. The wonderful blue turned to a very faint…

Pros
  • ENERGY EFFICIENCY. With only 23 watts of power consumption, these compact fluorescent lamps provide as much light as a 100 watt incandescent lamp. Your estimated energy cost is $2.77 per year at 3 hours per day at $0.11 per kWh.
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others
