What can I say, these are your basic 100 watt incandescent light bulbs. Another reviewer said these last longer due to the higher 130-volt bulbs. We had replaced most of our bulbs around the house with fluorescent believing they were saving us money. As another reviewer said, they really don't in the long run because the "long life" they advertise is only if they were left on full time, not shut off daily like most household lights are! As these bulbs age, they become very dim, and we were tired of not being able to see as well in our house! We decided to go back to incandescent bulbs in some of the most important light fixtures so we can actually read the newspaper at night, so I ordered this case from Amazon. They arrived quickly & in perfect condition. We love the light and believe that people should continue to use these types of bulbs in their homes before they become obsolete. Remember also that florescent bulbs are filled with mercury, which ends up in our landfills since nobody has created a way to dispose of those bulbs properly! I may follow up with a video review of these bulbs vs. the florescent bulbs in our home so you can see what a difference they make!

An inexpensive way to stock up before they stop selling them in the near future. I bought 4 cases of 24 and tested all of the bulbs the day I received them via UPS. Out of 96 total bulbs, 9 were either broken, would not light at all or burn out immediately upon testing. I expected a few to fail but not 9; oh well, that's to be expected if you ship light bulbs.
An excellent long life bulb that provides superior lighting. Also, the higher voltage rating allows this bulb to survive voltage spikes that destroy lesser bulbs. Manufactured in St. Marys, Pennsylvania.
Straightforward review:
* when these arrived I tired all 24 to see if they worked. They all did, but 3 of them blew out while I was testing them. So far, in everyday use, no problems with the 10 I'm using. On the whole, good value in my book.
Very bright. Just perfect.
These are great light bulbs! They last long, and offer great light to read by, or support whatever it is you are doing. Stock up before the incandescent light bulb is officially illegal to sell in the United States. Amazon offers a fantastic price on these. The one shipment I received with broken bulbs (out of three shipments so far) was replaced with a one-day shipment via FedEx.
A 100 watt light bulb gives off a 100 watts of Warm heat and 1750 Lumens of Light. A Fluorescent bulb gives off 23 watts of no heat, and 1100 lumens of light. I have lamps in my bed room, and they give off 400 watts of nice warm heat, plus plenty of good reading light, which increases the temperature in my bedroom by at least 6 degrees, and takes out the chill in the air in my bedroom. I didn't realize that factor, till when I changed all the bulbs to fluorescent, and wondered why it was the bedroom had such a chill, plus how poor the light they gave out to read by. The Incandescent bulbs make a big,big different, don't lose their brightness, like the Fluorescent bulbs do, and give off nice warm heat.
These bulbs are excellent! Buy 130v instead of 120v and they will last longer as little electrical spikes won't blow them. Also, they are made in the United States. Most bulbs are coming from China these days. Let's support domestic manufacturing. - Sylvania - Lighting - Light Bulbs'
