CFL Compact Fluorescent 23w Par38 Outdoor Lights - 4-pack

 (16 customer reviews)

I love these bulbs. I can't find them anywhere locally only online and at amazon. When I turn these lights on they take about a minute or so to reach full brightness but wow they light the whole yard up - it is so bright it brings the sunlight out in my small yard. I also have these in the front yard that come on from dusk to dawn so about 12 hr. day these lights are on and after 1 year of use they have yet to burn out. These lights definetly put out between 100w-120w of light and use only 23w of electricity. I would definetly buy again & recommend to friends.

UPDATE: 1 year after I made this review - my bulbs still work I haven't had to replace them which is amazing considering my front lights are on 12hrs/day. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

After reading the 5 existing reviews I decided these were exactly the bulbs I needed.

Problem is, three out of four of these bulbs have burned out within three weeks of purchasing them. I haven't put in the last one yet, but I certainly don't expect much.

I tested the fixture and found no problems with it. The bulb I replaced was an incandescent bulb that had burned out after at two (or more) years of use - going on automatically every night at sundown.

I am not faulting Amazon or the supplier 'Hitech' as they have no control over the quality of a bad set of bulbs, but it makes me wonder whether the 'Feit' brand is reliable.

I will just chalk this event up to bad luck and take a ride to that giant Depot store to try my luck with another brand.

The price was good however it is under a month and one of the bulbs has started to become dim. Maybe I got a bad batch!!
