This review is from: Camco 41313 RV 12V-15W Fluorescent Light Bulb (Automotive)
Bought 4 of these for a solar system. ONLY used them in one socket, withing 4 days, 2 were already blown. They do not handle fluctuting DC voltages such as those seen in a solar system. No built in regulation. I've use many items for years off the 12v solar that are sensitive equipment; to include Cell Phones, external Hard drives, and a wireless cellular repeater. So, in a nut shell, a waste of money!

This is a great concept. You can use any light socket or lamp, connect to a 12 volt system, and you have an energy efficient light source. Unfortunately they do not last! They burn out very quickly and at 10 bucks a pop they are not worth it. I have not found any way to contact the manufacturer to find out if there are any special requirements for increasing the life of this product. Wal-mart sells a 12 volt bulb with a 1000 hour warranty for $1.50
