Sunlite 01280 7C7 Incandescent Bulb 7 Watt Candelabra E12 Base C7 Small Night Light Colored Bulb Clear 25

I have purchased the Sunlite 4C7 and 7C7 bulbs in the clear finish as well as some of the spray painted colors. This review is for the clear varieties. I am a light bulb collector and expert on many types of incandescent bulbs. These are very high quality. The filaments are neatly strung, and they do not sag after being in use for a while. The filaments in many lower quality C7s will sag and arc out or are susceptible to static electricity and will actually cling to the side of the bulb, causing premature failure. These are much less likely to do that. I have the Sunlite C7s in both 4 watt and 7 watt size. The 7 watt bulbs have heavier filaments that are more rugged and less likely to sag. They are a little brighter than the 4 watt version. Based on the observed color of the light emitted by the filament (it is softer and more yellowish than some other C7s), I predict that the life will be longer than the advertised 2,000 hours. I have not had mine in use for more than a month, so I cannot decisively attest to their longevity. The soft, incandescent color of the light makes them perfect for window candles and candoliers. As LEDs take over and incandescent bulbs get harder and harder to find, I suggest stocking up on these. This is a great price. TWO-YEAR UPDATE: These Sunlites have been nearly flawless in operation. I use them in my Christmas window candles that I typically put up around December 1 and take down sometimes as late as February. They stay on for 24 hours. (The photocell candles don't work well, and I don't have the ones with the automatic timers). I don't think a single bulb has burned out or otherwise failed in use over two seasons. I have one candle that stays lit in my dining room window all year, 24 hours a day, and I think I got about a year out of one bulb. That's over 8,000 hours. I knew from the color of the light from these bulbs that they would burn for a very long time. None of the filaments have sagged or broken from installation, removal, packing and unpacking of the window candles over two Christmas seasons. I have bought many of these boxes to stock up and highly recommend them. Read more

Perfect for my candy houses. One bulb was already blown and not usable, but so far the others are doing well. Great glow. Read more

Perfect for my menorah Read more

They are very sensitive bulbs; I prefer orange but anyway, buy a back-up box while you're at it. If you don't disturb them they last a good while but seems if you just bump them or whatever, out they go !! Read more

Although they came a couple of days later than originally expected, I was happy with them. They came in a great little box to keep them safe and not take up a lot of room. 😊 Read more

I have the old-fashioned night lights w sensors absolutely everywhere in my house. I can wander around at night and not bump into anything, plus most of them are under houseplants which makes terrific shadows on the vaulted ceilings. Like falling asleep under a palm tree, heaven. These seem to last a long time, too. Very pleased with these bulbs. Read more

there is nothing bad to say about this product. i'm on my second box as i keep a lit candle in my front window all yr and i never ever turn it off i did notice with this new box that each bulb is in its own small box and i think i like that. all in all a good product Read more
