Halco 45059 - CFL13/50/T2/E12 Twist Candelabra Screw Base Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

First of all it is very hard to find "E12" size bulbs with "while light" and light output this high. I got a lamp from Ikea and discovered that they do not fit the regular size bulbs, and the ones which came bundled with the lamp were low intensity. So I found these on amazon. I do not know a lot of competition for what this product provides in this size category.

Buying advice :
1) Make sure you are looking for E12 size bulbs : These are ones with base much smaller than regular bulbs. These are often referred as chandelier bulbs.
2) As per reliability, It faithfully renders what it promises in the spec, and I have had this for over a three months now with no problem .

Yes, they're very affordable, but 50% of the bulbs started flickering within 3 days and were dead within 2 weeks. I bought 12 of them last december. Currently 4 are still alive. Not worth it.
