Fits all medium-base E27/E26 sockets. Pack of 4. Dimensions: Length: 6.5 inches; diameter: 2.5 inches; diameter of socket: 1 inch. Important: ALZO CFL bulb life is based on the bulb in an open air upright orientation. When bulbs are installed in fixtures that lack adequate ventilation, the life of the bulb will be reduced.

Photo lamps

Pros: Very Good light sources
Cons: none
Best Uses: Photo work where a broad range of color balance is required
Describe Yourself: Occasional Photographer
These bulbs are very good for gem stone and jewelry photos, and have a very long life. I purchased these bulbs not as replacements, but to expand my photo studio setup. The original bulbs have been in intermittent use for several years, and are still providing a very good color balance for photographing colored gems.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Order arrived on time exactly as described. Bulbs create perfect lighting for art and photography. My wife even started using one of them to provide lighting for her plants she has brought indoors for the winter.

Photo lights

Pros: Cool, inexpensive, daylight balanced
Cons: none
Best Uses: product photography
Describe Yourself: Semi-Pro Photographer
This item has been a boon to me. Along with the socket extenders, it breathed new life into my old Smith-Victor lights. The light temperature was perfect. I bounced the lights off white sheets which I have hung up on three sides of my sun porch. This enabled me to get a very evenly balanced, indirect light for photographing vintage pillow covers made of silk, rayon and acetate, very shiny substances. These lights do not heat up the room and they perform as advertised. I can leave them on and correctly position the pillow covers as desired. I bought these and then bought a higher wattage set which works even better. At a later date I will be using these to photograph some quilts. I have a large number of these to photograph and some time next year they will be published in my wife's latest book. I can't praise these enough, so far they have worked perfectly and they fit my budget.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Perfect- Exactly what I was looking for

Pros: Indistinguishable from daylight, lots of lumens for 27W
Cons: None
escribe Yourself: Occasional Photographer
I know it says that I am, but I'm not a photographer or an artist, I am simply someone who was tired of having dull, irritatingly yellow incandescent lights in my house. So I bought a four pack of ALZO bulbs and they are everything I was looking for and more. I put them in my bathroom and I have had people tell me that it looks like I have sunlight coming in from somewhere. The perfect daylight-temperature light does a great job of waking me up in the morning and I never miss anything when I shave anymore. Plus, for the price there is no better value available if you're looking for daylight-temp, high CRI bulbs. 5 Stars!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
