Question by wilhem: 100wt energy saving bulb in a socket rated for a 60wt standard bulb? My standard ceiling light sockets suggest that I use standard 60 watt bulbs.

Review: You would think 65 watts is not that bright but whoa, these are super bright! So much so the light is harsh and glaring. They wear out your eyes fast. Only good place to use these would be high in a garage loft or in combination with some kind of light diffuser.

Review: I purchased a fixture that included 2 of these bulbs. These bulbs are expensive, extremely fragile, and potentially dangerous. One light was physically broken in the box, even though there was no evidence of damage or mishandling of the package. I ordered a replacement from Amazon. It arrived in one piece, but failed to work. Amazon, to their credit, replaced it at no cost. Within 3 weeks of using the fixture, one of the bulbs fell apart while it was in the fixture. The glass tube fell out of the ceramic base when the light was turned on. If the fixture guard had not caught the bulb, I would have been showered in galss shards. Inspection of the remains showed that the cement used to hold the glass to the base had decomposed to a crumbling powder. How many different ways can a product be bad? This one certainly belongs in the hall of fame.

Review: I never got to try these bulbs. They were so poorly packaged all four bulbs arrived broken. They had no bubble wrap or packing peanuts. They were loose in a box.

Review: It looked as if you could just screw it in and light up, but NO, you need a special fixture to put it in.

Review: This lamp may be a perfectly fine lamp. However, from the description and the picture you probably assume that this lamp can be used anywhere a mogul-based incandescent can be used. This lamp can only be used in fluorescent 65-watt fixtures with ballast. The lamp itself does not have a ballast. The 1 star relates to the poor job of describing the lamp, rather than the quality of the lamp itself.
