2 burn outs so far
First time buying these bulbs 4pk, so far two have burned out within an hour of eachother. Will be returning for better made bulbs, these are inferior.

    JUNK JUNK JUNK
    THESE BULBS HAVE TO BE THE WORST EVER! THEY STOP WORKING OUT OF THE PACKAGE! WHAT QUALITY CONTROL, THE RETURN DESK PERSON AND I ARE ON A FIRST NAME BASIS BECAUSE OF THEM. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY CAN LIGHT SOCKETS SO I CHANGED SOME. STILL NO LIGHT... ONCE YOU PURCHASE THESE HOME DEPOT HAS YOU ON THE HOOK. THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE TO JUST "86".

      Great cfl bulb
      I use this bulb for light for my tomato plants that I start from seed. Works great you do not need the expensive grow lights for this. Just get a 5,500 K and it will replace your expensive grow lights.

      GREAT PRODUCT
      I HAVE NEVER TRIED THESE KIND OF BULBS BEFORE, BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE BEEN DOING BETTER THAN THE OTHER BRAND OF BULBS I USUALLY USE.

      perfect light color
      i can't find similar lighting quality in any other brand nor type of light. i've tried multitudes of different bulbs, the bright white color emitted by these is perfect. It's tough to find anywhere else, I've found nothing as strong in scope and color. Makes the room feel better. I've found any other bulb to be a downer in comparison, so the only downshot is that I have to go to HD to get all my bulbs. (This brand isn't available anywhere else as far as i can tell)

      Poor quality...Home Depot should look into this product
      I have four of these bulbs over my office desk in can lighting fixtures...I'm on my third 4-pack of these bulbs...some last for 12+ months others only a few hours, I'd switch but Home Depot is only a few blocks away and they keep replacing them for free. I'll switch as soon as I can find a 100w daylight, 5000k, 1600 lumens, I'm waiting for LED cost to come down to the $20's for my needs

        25% failure
        Product: EcoSmart 4-pack 100W equivalent - Daylight In-Store Price: $7.97 (pack of 4) Quality: 1 out of 4 bulbs in each packet goes dark after first few hours of usage. I've changed 3 packets so far. I'm stuck with EcoSmart because I'm yet to find another brand wtih my desired combination of 100W in Daylight. I've already made 4 trips to the store and spending more than a gallon of gas (more than half the price of this product.) and am yet to get a stable good quality bulb that would actually last for (close to) 10,000 hrs.

        Energy efficiency meets inspector's requirements
        I was thrilled to find an energy-efficient safety-coated bulb for my permitted kitchen. The light that emits from these bulbs are very white which was a little stark and surprising, but otherwise I am delighted with them.
