I purchased a pack of 8 of these lights to replace my regular light bulbs.

Pro's -
They only use 13 watts.
They are small but will hold the average lamp shade.
They work well.

Con's -
They are not very bright.
Not for use with any kind of dimmer or 3 way or touch lights.
Not for overhead light use, they are just too dim.
They flicker when turning on sometimes.

 "Low quality" 2009-07-27
By M. Paez
I bought three packs of eight a couple months ago and now only two thirds of them are still working. The first one burnt out a couple days after putting it in. I would advise buyers to look elsewhere.

 "Too many failures. Don't expect rated life expectancy" 2009-03-03
By Howard Landmann (St. Louis, Mo.)
I have replaced 9 bulbs in my house with these GE compact bulbs during the last year. I have had three failures so far. I would estimate these bulbs failed in less than 500 hours which makes them rather expensive considering the price. The bulbs which failed were all mounted in ceiling fixtures base up. Possibly that was a contributing factor. The three that failed were all from the same package. Possibly that was a bad production run. One of the bulbs was installed above a staircase in a fixture that is difficult to access. I put the bulb there specifically to not have to change it again based on the advertised life expectancy of these bulbs. It failed in a few months in an area where an incandescent lasted a couple of years. I do like the concept of saving energy and will continue to use the seven left in the package I already purchased, but I won't buy more GE bulbs if the failure rate continues.

 "Great Value Brand seem better" 2009-01-27
By J. Masteller
These lights are not that bad. They do help with the energy bill, and the light that comes from them is very appealing.

The thing you need to know before buying these kinds of light bulbs is that they almost always take awhile to get to their full brightness, and sometimes don't turn on immediately. I do have GE, Great Value, and sylvania brands throughout my house, and from my observations the Walmart Great Value Brand which cost about 40% less get brighter faster than the GE or Sylvania brands. I have not had any of them die on me yet, so I can't tell you which ones last the longest.

 "25% Failure Rate so far!" 2009-01-25
By Mac G (NC, USA)
So far, I'm using 4 of 8 of these in a light fixture, and one flickered when the light was turned on the first time it was used. This bulb burned out after 3 days of use, approximately 10 hours of usage at the most. Low quality bulbs, light is also too yellowish for my liking. The ones that do work are nice and bright though.
Hopefully the rest last longer than a few hours.
