(4 Pack) PLC-18W 827, 4 Pin G24q-2, 18 Watt Double Tube, Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb, Replaces Sylvania 20683 and Philips 38329-9 - PL-C 18W/827/4P/ALTO

Works as it should.

Great quality bulbs. It's very difficult to purchase CFL bulbs here in CA, so I was pleased when Amazon was able to deliver these to me.

These bulbs did not work at first due to some mechanical issue with the switch or fixture. Once that was resolved, they work perfectly and give an incredible amount of light. They were well=packaged and not one was broken. I would give 5 stars but it's too soon to judge longevity. 8 bulbs for this price seems unbeatable.

Fit my bathroom mirror lights. I like that it's a 4 pk, worth the price. Once my husband put the bulbs in it came right on. The lighting is bright not dull at all in my bathroom. I would order again.

There is something different about these bulbs as they would work in my Panasonic fixture. I noticed that other bulbs would click into place but these bulbs would just hang loosely and not light. I tried pushing them in further but they were in as far as they could go and still wouldn't click into place or light.

These were exactly what I wanted and couldn't find in the stores.

Fit beautifully and was exactly what I wanted. I just installed it...so I don't know how long it will last? I know these bulbs in a soft white are very difficult to find. I'm sure I will be ordering more in the near future to keep on hand.

These bulbs fit my Panasonic ceiling fixture perfectly, with no modification. They are nice and bright -- when new and when warmed up -- but they don't last all that long. In a bathroom that we don't use all that much, one bulb lasted only 2 years and 5 months. Considering the price, that's not great longevity. Of course, the price is a lot lower with this pack of 4 bulbs than it is buying replacements at a hardware store, but still. For the cost, the bulb should last at least 5 years in a lightly used room. When new, these bulbs (the brand is "Sunlite" on the bulbs I received) are nice and bright, with a color temperature of around 3500K. That is a little whiter than the original bulbs, which were quite yellow looking. However, as these Sunlite bulbs aged, they fired up rather dimly, then got brighter as they warmed. They were fully warm and bright after a minute or so. That's okay if you will be the room for a little while, but if you just need a quick light to find something in the vanity, it can be a little dim at first. These Sunlite bulbs are not bad, but they are not great, either. I'll give them 3 stars for being less expensive than the hardware store alternative.
