These "D" style bulbs are rated to last about six years by GE. I put three fixtures purchased from Home Depot on the ceiling in my basement rec room about 10 years ago. The bulbs were still working but lately everyone noticed the light output had fallen. Even after the bulbs fully warmed up the output was feeble.

Home Depot no longer carries these bulbs so I purchased them from Amazon (none of my neighborhood stores had them, either). What an improvement! The light output from the new bulbs is fantastic. I'm very glad I bought these. Because they are genuine GE they fit my fixtures perfectly. You're paying for the electricity; no point in wasting it on old worn out bulbs.

While the bulb works fine, the color temperature is way off (5000K?). The light output is bright, but it's too blue for use indoors. The original GE bulb had a much warmer color to it (about 2700K). Beware you are not getting a genuine GE light bulb here.

You get what you pay for.

We are disappointed. The lights are the correct fit for the lamp but none of them worked. When you moved the bulb you could hear a rattling noise (possibly a pin??). So now we have opened all 3 packages with no success and will be sending back.

Worked as advertised and arrived on time. Very happy with my purchase. The last bulb lasted many years so I hope this will also.
