Review: This is an excellent bulb. Very bright with a pleseant color! - You have no idea how much you love a light fixture until it's gone. Kind of like when the refrigerator light goes out and you're looking for a late night snack. Anyway, my light above the kitchen sink went out and sanitation on my dishes has raised alerts in the dark and gloomy area surrounding my sink. Being that it's a light bulb my immediate thought was to buy it at the store up the street. That said, I always do a quick price comparison. I would have paid a dollar more for convenience but not $5 more. So price here was definitely a benefit! Now for performance. This bulb fit well and performed immediately. In fact, it is much brighter than the previous bulb. I am very happy with the quality thus far and am excited to live in a world where bacteria and grime fear my sponge once again. Run away Ecoli. Run away and never look back. (Signal the hyenas)
Review: Works as expected. Great value! - This was purchased as a replacement lamp for a fixture behind the attic access panel in a hallway. It is one of those under-cabinet jobs for which bulbs cost as much or more now than the entire unit's original purchase price. I was just going to run down to the local Home Depot to get a new one, then thought I should check their website first. Good thing I did because it turns out that size is not stocked and similar, smaller lamps are priced about twice as high as this one on desertcart. The fact that the shipping was free made it a no brainer. It was delivered 6 days after the order was placed and arrived in the usual thin cardboard tube, which was also wrapped in two layers of bubble wrap and enclosed in a snug fitting cardboard box. It takes one or two seconds to light after the switch is thrown, shines much brighter than the old one, with no flickering. What more could you ask?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really great bulb, great price:)
*by H***L on April 16, 2017*

At first it didn't work but I left it in for awhile then it clicked on:) I have an old unit it went in till I go shopping for a better looking one but I wanted it working now so I got this bulb. It's almost instant on and no flickering like my old one. Very happy with the price, delivery, packaging (there is quite a bit of packing in an oversized box but I daresay if it was packaged with less and arrived broken you'd be doubly 'p...d'). I used my boxes in the garden anyway to put under leaves where I want to make a path to keep grass down so I don't waste them and they do double duty:)
