Easy to use, color is perfect

This is the size to get

I had a set of these that I purchased like 8 or 9 years ago from a different company that didn't survive a recent move so I purchased these as a replacement.Pros1. Nice and bright.2. They fit my existing light pole sockets.3. They're relatively inexpensive.Cons1. My set buzzes a little bit when they're on. It's not a serious con, but it gets annoying during long shoots.My gripes aren't enough to take off a star. These work fine and cost a reasonable amount of money.

Very well packed for safe arrival

Strong enough to grow plants that will fruit very well.

Very bright, very nice CFL. I've had the light bulb for ~9 months now and it still works great!Great for lighting an entire room, a photoshoot or a video production. Be aware the the bulbs are rather large (check dimensions in description) - do not cluster a bunch together unless they are adequately spaced apart. May or may not work with a bounce umbrella, make sure the length of the rod is long enough so the light doesn't hit the umbrella.At 6500K, this light is still on the bluer end of the kelvin spectrum. If you want a warmer light, try going for K values above 9000.

I ordered this as a replacement bulb for one that was dropped and I tried it in multiple screw bases and it didn't work in any of them. It screwed in just fine and all the contacts were clean and I tried with a different bulb and that worked fine.I will update if the company refunds or replaces my order.UPDATE 1/24/14I returned my bulb to Amazon and the company shipped me a new bulb that works perfectly! They had outstanding customer service and were very prompt on returning a new bulb. The only inconvenience was the broken one and I am leaving 3 stars because the first bulb had almost no protective packaging and the replacement bulb was covered in layers of bubble wrap.

This product is very durable and lasts a very long time as long as its kept wrapped and in its box when not in use! It's very high powered and gives a perfect amount of constant light, illuminating subjects perfectly. Thank you for a superb transaction!
