Pros & Cons
Pros
Requires two each so the quad pack fit the bill. These bulbs are made of plastic so gripping them is no problem. And they seem to install easier. Truly plug & play.
Warm light but much whiter that a 100w incandescent bulb. Not too bright, not too dim. Works great, nice and bright.
These work perfectly for me without removing the ballast. And they function perfectly with the supplied electronic ballast - no need to rewire.
Instant on, no flicker. No buzzing or flickering. Easily replaced my slow/noisy/flickering cfl.
With just 7w, its brightness exceeds the 13-15w cfl bulbs but consumes less energy. It's very bright compared to the older 14w fluorescent, which was barely noticeable.
Cons
The second one burned out in about 2 minutes. Whatever sort of ballasts these bulbs are compatible with, they aren't in my fixture.
Highlights
Quality
Excellent plug and play replacement fired right up
Easy to install and are truly plug and play ie no need to remove the ballast magnetic or inductance
The light is brighter than my original cfl bulb and instantly turns on to full brightness plus uses less energy
Base does not fit and it cannot be altered to do so
Price
Im glad i found these and theyre well worth the price
Anyway 25 worth of dead bulbs later and now it looks as if i have go back to crappy cfls
If these led bulbs last 2 years they will have paid for themselves
I leave the 5 watt led on all night as an inexpensive but bright night light
Shipping
I contacted the seller for advice and got a quick and helpful response
Competitiveness
Far better than the cfl they replaced
Provides better lighting than the previous cfl
We landed up going with a different brand after testing only because the color of the light was a little cooler than another we tried
These are much brighter than the previous cfls

They are several inches longer than the old but fit in my 11” diameter unit

They required a bit of force to insert and needed to be twisted clockwise in order to work
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Before twisting i turned on the switch and nothing happened which is when i tried twisting

It may not be necessary in all fixtures
