Second Problematic Novelty Bulb In Just Over Two Months
I purchased the "Idea" LED light bulb to replace the currently out-of-stock rose decorative bulb I bought at the start of the year. That bulb was only used intermittently, and started to dim petal by petal, leaf by leaf after just a month or so. I was told, when I sent an inquiry, that it's expected life is 1000 hours. By that point, it was too late to return.I went with the rather more costly LED Idea bulb after being told it should last 20,000 hours. Unfortunately, the one I got didn't work at all, right out of the box. I tried several lamps, to be sure. It did appear the LED "filament" was loose and wobbly.At least I can return that one.

A warm bulb in sturdy plastic globe with a faux Edison filament glow, just add a cord at checkout
As a lamp maker, I have a soft spot for weird stuff such as this Terrarium plant globe bulb. Had this been easier for me to find on amazon, I would have purchased it sooner, but it was hidden among what I think are albeit cute bulbs, but nothing like this.The plastic globe is incredibly sturdy and not thin. It looks like glass to a casual viewer but you will see that once you take the bulb /globe out of the box, which is already assembled, how sturdy this is. It is ready to socket, so make sure when you purchase this, you have a cord in your cart, or one at home that can hold the bulb, along with what you want to put inside the terrarium.It comes with the plastic plant as seen in the details as well as a small package of white (aquatic grade?) rocks. I didn’t elect to use those, because the package was so dusty, I did not want to get the interior of this globe dirty. I am sure I could have put them in a colander and washed them off , and allowed them to dry before placing them into the globe, but in my photos, I am using a mix of light weight blue glass cabochons and slightly heavier clear glass decorator grade marbles, as one might use for flower arrangements. This is something I added slowly to make sure the weight of the bulb/globe and my construction grade light cord could withstand, and I didn’t just start pouring these glass items fill force into this delicate piece happenstance.So far, 3 weeks since setup, and the bulb is doing great with 16+ hours of every day use. I highly recommend this item for yourself or as a gift, but make sure you get a cord when you purchase it.

Ships with missing pieces.
While the box and wire fixtures are really neat, the package doesn't ship as shown.There is a small black metal ring that can be bought separately which is NEEDED to hold the whole wire and light-bulb housing insert firmly in place: https://www.amazon.com/Darksteve-Metal-plate/dp/B01J0NSGDU/ref=sr_1_4?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1497141163&sr=1-4&keywords=darksteveI'm going to order this ring and if it doesn't fit, I'll be REALLY disjointed.Bought it as a birthday present and it's already going to be a "late" birthday present now. I can't imagine that DarkSteve doesn't know about their product being sold without the ring that keeps the whole bulb housing in place. My gift barely works as a gift because the light bulb and it's housing (the housing being DarkSteve's product) rotates freely with the direction the cord falls. Really unfortunate as the product is made very well. Seems to just be a quality assurance issue. My guess is the product Amazon has is an older model because the pictures clearly show the light bulb housing with pieces that hold it firmly in place. I would have given this product 5 stars but the fact that this issue hasn't been addressed by amazon or DarkSteve has forced me to delay giving this gift because I'm searching for a solution to the whole "it wont stay together" thing.

Cute xmas bulb, nice xmas gift or for own holiday use
Just as shown in the advertised picture. The bulb doesn't give bright light, as compared with our regular bulb shown in the picture. But the colors of the Xmas wishes and the tree are so cute. It would be a very fun Xmas gift. adding a nice atmosphere for holiday time. The bulb was well packed so it is safe for delivery.

This bulb was awesome for about 4 days
This bulb was awesome for about 4 days. The "I love you" burned out and I now have a glowing heart but nothing else. Maybe a fluke but super bummed.

Bulb worked only for a few days and burnt out after :/
I love it’s pit and the bulb. 2 years ago I gave it to a freind as a gift and it worked perfect. This year I gave it to my mom as a Christmas gift and it lasted for 3 days and then the bulb burnt out ! Really deapinted . It’s beautiful when it works

.Not worth $30>
Not worth $30. The paint job is poor and the cable is a nylon/synthetic material. Judging by the pictures and price, I thought it would be twine or a woven wool. It should cost no more than $15.Also, you have to install the light plug on your own, which was surprisingly confusing at first. Once I figured out that the white cylinder just pulls off the base, it was easy to put the light plug in through the bottom and screw the retainer on.

Don't do it!

Cool - bonus points for being LED
Really cool. 4.5 out of 5, only because it was PRICEY. $30 CAD for one bulb is pretty foolish. However, I sucked it up and bought it anyway because it was exactly what I needed to complete my art piece of a lamp AND it is LED.

検品してないんでしょうねぇ

照明ではなくインテリアとして。
何かを照らせる明るさはありません。ただ、間接照明だけを点けた部屋にこの電球を使った照明器具を置くと非常に雰囲気のある空間になります。自分は部屋でプロジェクターを使って映画を観てる時などにサイドテーブルの上にこの電球を使った照明器具を置いて飲み物などの位置を分かりやすくしています。女性ウケも抜群です。笑

オブジェとしての電球
コスパ良くて、このクオリティなら全然オッケーです。ただ全然明るくないので、オブジェとしてなら使えますね。照明としてはまったく機能しません。

うーむ、残念・・・
まったく点灯しません!ソケットを替えてみたり、コンセントを替えてみたりしましたが、ダメでした。残念ですが、返品手続きを行います。
