Review: Great value - Easy enough to install (except for crawling around in the hot attic!). Great way to replace expensive and short-lived fluorescent bulbs with regular incandescent or LEDs.
Review: Didn't work for my fixture - This product did not work for my lighting fixture. The product was shipped quickly, and upon my return, they were quick to ship out another replacement. But, there was a misunderstanding, that was probably my fault. I should have been more clear, that the item did not work or fit, my lighting fixture. Otherwise, the item was shipped quickly, and they did try to replace it.

### ⭐ Don't work Well.

These worked for a couple of days, then seemed to burn out?!? They were hot to the touch when installed. Possibly defective? I can't imagine that being proper working condition.
