eTopLighting Digital Full Spectrum Fluorescent Light Bulb 65 Watt Daylight Energy Saving 6500K, APL2195

I bought three bulbs and one burned out in less than one day not happy at all products not what I thought it would be when you buy a white ball be expected to be

Light is very bright and works great for growing my seedlings while waiting for last frost. Used a pair of 2 last season to grow dozens of seedlings, and then put them away for the rest of the year. Pulled them out this season to start my seedlings and 1 of them no longer worked. Reason for only taking 1 star is that I probably could have been more careful with them, but I wasn't overly rough with them either.

The product is very bright. The bulb was larger than a regular sized bulb so make sure you have a big enough dome covering for it. I used it on my succulents. I kept it close to my succulents about 6-12 inches daily and after 1 month I am just starting to see a teeny tiny bit of sun stress. But they are thriving. I have no other grow light to compare it to though. It doesn't get super hot either so that's good. I ordered a different grow light that isn't so blinding but I think I'll keep it for my pothos and just get a bigger aluminum dome.

Keep your eye on these. After just a few months it started arching in the socket. Middle contact of bulb was completely gone. Now I need a new socket. Off to the hardware store. More than one did this too on different sockets in our garage, just caught those in time and didn’t let it arch too long.

It’s everything advertised. It’s brighter than the one I replaced at the same wattage and temperature rating.

item was better quality and much less expensive than like items in local lighting departments.

Very bright, and doesn't get as hot as a lower wattage CFL of the same spectrum that I own. Left one for weeks at a time, and used as a grow light for seedlings. Works perfectly.

I use these in my wood shop to refinish furniture. I really like the bright light they give off.
