Reviews of Grandrich PL-27W Full Spectrum Replacement Bulb

1.) No problems at all.

I have had a Grandrich floor lamp for a couple of years. Went through one bulb in that time. The last time it flickered and died, I ordered a replacement bulb from Amazon. That one still didn't work. It turned out to be a bad electrical outlet in my apartment. After the manager replaced the outlet...no problems! I don't want to say that others with bad results had electrical problems, but that was true in my case. I will not hesitate to order replacement bulbs from Amazon.

2.) INSTALL CORRECTLY!!!

If you have trouble with the lamp going on and off or not working at all, it is most likely NOT SNAPPED IN ALL THE WAY....and they are a real bear to get installed all the way in the socket...Had the same problems with my own lamp till I figured it out.

I was really pleased to find this replacement bulb and at a great price. The light is so natural and I found it lasted as long as the original. I am an avid reader, and I find the light from this 27-watt replacement bulb reduces eyestrain and even helps lift my spirits on dark or rainy days.Grandrich EZ Reader 27-Watt Fluorescent Bulb #PL-27W

I read many reviews for this kind of bulb. I miss my lamp and depend on it especially in the winter. I settled on this one for the price and overall reviews. The bulb lasted two weeks. Lame.

Remember a couple of years ago when these lamps were being marketed not merely as miraculous devices offering full-spectrum daylight but as a unique and revelatory opportunity to see nature's creation in all its celestial apparel? Frankly, the thrill was gone the moment the thing arrived, but it kept gracing a very limited area of my bedroom with its sunny beams--until I knocked it over. It's a fairly fragile sun--but not to worry. This one from Amazon is reasonably priced, is a cinch to install, and is no less resplendent than its predecessor (which really wasn't all that bright). If it's a miracle light as claimed, be assured that it's a readily replaceable, repeatable one.

11.) Easy to find and a quick ship

It took forever for me to find a vendor for this kind of bulb. I didn't expect to find it on Amazon. I had the first buld for 3 years and then my grandson knocked the lamp over and broke it. So far it works just fine.

The Bulb is what exactly I've been long looking for. Its quality is excellent. The only disadvantage is that it's a bit too shiny or even dazzling.

This replacement bulb works well for me. It is a tad expensive, but Amazon had the best price I could find. Considering how long my first bulb lasted it is still a good deal.

I have Solartech Lamp purchased from Technipeal Digital Products, Norwalk CT. which goes on and off, sometimes off for a few days and unable to repair it. I purchased replacement lamp for FML27EX-N type PL/F but it doesn't work either. Probably no problem with the bulb. Thjis is model bqalanced spectrum floorlamp.

I just purchased the CS101 floorlamp for my wife for a Christmas present. The bulb lasted less than 20 hours and the company would not honor the warranty because I bought this light from Amazon. We had this product for less than 2 months as it was a present.

I bought one despite multiple warnings from fellow reviewers, I thought ok, I'll try it, it's only $7. Well, it just did not work. I'm giving it 2 stars and not 1 star, but all the starss belong to Amazon - I'm getting my money back.

20.) Life is NOT 10,000 hours
Reviewed by: S. Lin San Jose, CA

10,000 hours = 416 days. In other words, more than a year.

I bought this replacement bulb on Oct 6, 2005. Today is the first of Feb. 2006--it died. Assuming that I never turned off the lamp during those 3 months, my math tells me that in order for the bulb to burn out I must have had the lamp on for 111 hours/day for five months. (111 hours x 30 days x 3 months = 9990 hours.) Only, I never quite lived a 111 hour day yet.

If I figure I used the lamp for no more than 6 hrs/day for those 3 months. I only got 540 hours out of it. However you look at it, it seems this bulb missed the mark on the 10,000 in a premature death.

Bought 2 of these bulbs to replace original in Grandville floor lamp. The original lasted over 2 years, until I broke it. These replacements are bad . 1 lasted for 3 months, the other 20 minutes. Don't waste your money on these bulbs.

I bought this Grandrich light from Amazon and I turned it on once for 20 minutes and it died. So much for the 10,000 hours longer than most bulbs. I won't buy this product and I'm thinking twice about Amazon for selling it.

I actually tried the bulb in my lamp and it fit, but it didn't work. I don't know if shipping damaged it in any way or if it was just not going to function. The bulb looks perfectly fine. So, needless to say that being left in the dark with a new product does not make me a happy camper(customer) !
