Reviewer: Mammie
This bulb is the right size for a specific lamp on every desk at work.
These bulbs burn out within two years of occasional use

Do not buy these bulbs expecting superior life to traditional incandescent bulbs. We bought 12 of them in January 2008 and cycled them into our ceiling fixtures and floor lamps as the old incandescents burned out. Well, these burn out even faster than the old bulbs: only one remains uninstalled at this point and six of them, half the number we purchased, have already failed: a faster, not slower, rate of failure than incandescent bulbs. The five-year guarantee, as noted by another reviewer, is worthless since it involves mailing cost to Canada.
The "green" advantages of buying bulbs that use less energy than incandescent bulbs is compromised when the flourescent bulbs are of poor quality. These bulbs contain mercury, and they are more expensive to manufacture (use more resources to make) than incandescents. It burns me up that we are dumping mercury and extra resources back into the waste stream after only one to two years.
Compact Fluorescent Bulbs contain mercury

Compact Fluorescent Bulbs contain mercury. I am concerned about mercury contamination due to glass breakage and also eventual disposal problems. What about groundwater contamination? What is going to happen when these bulbs are discarded in vast quantities and it is discovered that they are not truly "green" but are a biohazard? Is it going to be worth the small amount of pocket change that you save annually?

I installed the four bulbs soon after purchasing them in May. The first burned out in November. Checking the "five year guarantee", I found that the replacement requires sending the burned-out bulb to Montreal, Quebec, making the replacement as costly as buying a replacement. Anyone buying this product should disregard the guarantee completely.

This item is over-priced. One can get this product at big box stores such as CostCo for about half this price. Less on bargain days. Shop around. Don't settle for high prices.
