Bulbrite 60W KX-2000 Krypton/Xenon T3 Bulb, Candelabra Base

Bought one of these to try in a nice chandelier. The commodity incandescent bulbs it had put out this sickly yellow light that does not bring out the colors in the cut crystal. New (cheap) bulbs did not help, so I tried these which emit a different spectrum.

The light from this bulb is white and intense and so gives a great deal more color from the crystal. It also retains its "whiteness" when dimmmed. An unexpected benefit is that the long filament creates these really neat radial line patterns.

Longtime Amazon user but this is the first time I've ever been moved to write a review. This bulb is expensive but oh, what a difference. I agree that the 3-bulb limit is silly.

got tis for my kitchen :Hunter ceiling fan, it's 3 60w array of incandescent bulbs were really not bright enough. Now that I have installed 3 of these bulbs the room is flooded with bright white light. A treat for these old eyes. I am so pleased with discovering this product on Amazon,as well as their excellent service.

I was originally going to use a halogen replacement (MTBF 5000 hrs), but this krypton/xenon replacement (MTBF 3000 hrs) is 0.7 the cost. Both types of bulbs retain their whiteness better when dimmed than the standard tungsten (MTBF 1000-1500 hrs) bulb. And this one will fit in a standard candelabra base (E12).
