These are terrific replacement bulbs. Mine are used in a bathroom. The light they give off is "warm" and not harsh at all.

I will buy these again when the need arises.

Update (4/2009): The price on this has increased from around $6 to a whopping $28! Yikes!

This was just what I wanted and fit perfectly. No one carries this bulb in their stores anymore, so I was very pleased to find it online.

Best Deals for Feit Electric BPQ75/CL/MC 75 Watt T4 Mini Candelabra Base 120 Volt

in Sept. 2011, i bought three of these via Amazon, two to fill an immediate need and another to have on hand; today the need to replace one arose; the last of the three was still sealed in its card, but when placed into the fixture it didn't even flicker -completely dead; a careful look with a loupe shows no broken filament, and yet my ohmmeter shows infinite resistance; my guess is the connection within the bulb base is defective, which should have been caught at the factory with simple testing (a broken filament would be more excusable, might have occurred with rough handling)

of course the return window is long past with Amazon, and FEIT prints zero warranty info on the card; i will be trying another brand, with this and other bulbs i buy

(typographic note: Amazon replaces the Unicode em-dash and apostrophe i typed with two hyphens and a prime)

Honest reviews on Feit Electric BPQ75/CL/MC 75 Watt T4 Mini Candelabra Base 120 Volt

These bulbs have the same product number as the burned-out ones I need to replace. But they are about half an inch longer. I am hesitant to use them in the fixture which has a quite shallow lens.

While I hate that these are relatively expensive bulbs, I buy them from Amazon.com because that are competitively priced and always available. Finding them at Home Depot, etc. is not always successful and when we need one, we need one and I don't want to drive around to multiple stores looking. Also, for whatever reason, I've had inconsistent success with these Feit bulbs. Sometime their longevity is good and some of the time (maybe 25% of the time or less) they don't seem to last but about 3 months. Not sure why, but the ones sold at the box stores have about the same reliability issues. I've noticed that if I leave the fixture's small glass bulb cover off, the bulbs last longer. Probably due to heat build up I'm guessing. My fixture has a separate piece of 2" glass that covers only the bulb and is unrelated to the decorative glass associated with the fixture.
