Earthmate EP4052AE 40-Watt Spiral CFL 2700K Bulb, 6 Pack

Comment: Work great ! A cool, soft, almost yellowish light comes from these bulbs. Very nice and easy on the eyes.

Comment: When I got this order, one of the bulbs was broken. Since I got them on sale, I didn't feel like returning them. I only was using 2 at the time anyway. After recently getting more light sockets installed in my basement, I was ready to use more of them. I found another one was broken, and another one didn't work at all. So, I got 3 working bulbs for the price of 6. Not such a good deal after all.

Comment: Bulbs arrived 3 days ago. One was broken on arrival due to poor packing. I needed them so I opted not to send them all back. I installed all 5 remaining bulbs and 3 days later one has failed in a puff of foul smelling smoke and two others are flickering. Two are working well. Not a very good average. I bought them because they seemed like a good value - they were less than $5 each. If the two that are working continue to work they'll have cost more than $12 each... not so good! I'd recommend avoiding these.
UPDATE: 10 days later one of the flickering bulbs has failed. 3 dead - 1 flickering - 2 good.

Comment: I bought these bulbs because the price was the best I could find - even at home depot. They arrived on time and all of the bulbs are working great. They are a bit smaller than other 40 watt CFLs I have bought, but that is a plus for me.

To other reviewers:
* if you found them cheaper elsewhere please let us know where,
* and please don't review a product you haven't bought.

Comment: I tried two bulbs from the six pack. The first bulb performed normally. The second bulb failed after 30 seconds. I can not recommend this product!
