Guaranteed to last 5 years based on 4 hours use per day at 120V. Electricity cost savings are based on rated life of 8,000 hours compared to 10 100-watt soft white bulbs (rated life 750 hours). Energy savings are based on 10c per kilowatt hour. Reliable starting to -10oF(-23oC). Lamp requires a short warm up period to reach full brightness.

Customer Reviews

short life
I used my light bulb in a normal bathroom light fixture and it lasted less than 1 year. I didn't have it on excessively and when it was on I always tried to keep it on for at least 10 minutes as I have heard that can help the life expectancy greatly.

I was disappointed and unless GE or an electrician can give me some good explanation I would not buy this GE bulb again.

SHORT LIVED BULBS
I ordered three of these bulbs to save on energy and because they were touted as being long lasting. Two of the bulbs failed within the first month. I hope a different brand of these bulbs will be better because I won't order these again.

Great bulb
I got these to put in my kitchen and i love them,they are very bright and don't give off much heat like the incandescents did.they are a little slow to get to full brightness when it's cold but that doesn't bother me since i am saving on power and not having all that heat dumped into my home, I've replaced all my bulbs with GE cfl bulbs.
