Is this worth the higher price ($19.70) than the other 4 prong compact flourescents in the price range of $10.00?

Yes I've been using verilux bulbs for years. They last a long time and they fit my lamp. I like the fact they are full spectrum which helps me so much during the winter months.

Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell. All I know is that this product works well for me.

I did purchase the cheap brand, had to return it because but it did not fit. The higher price is definitely worth it!

i have used the verilux bulbs for several years, both for my reading light and for my orchid plant. i am very happy with it. also, i like the fact that full spectrum bulbs help us maintain optimism during gloomy times of the year.

I've the cheaper bulbs on a different type lamp. All of the bulbs stop working after a few hours. The higher price bulbs I'm using in a verilux lamp which I have used for four to five hours for about 4 months and I'm still on the first bulb. If it was the lamp or not I can say because the verilux bulb would not go in the other lamp and the same is true of the cheaper bulb in the verilux lamp.

I do not have/use Q1785A any longer and do not remember. Let me advise anyway: 1. I would NEVER spend $90 for it (was $26); 2. I recommend new CR664A that in effect replaced 1785A. I was reluctant to make the switch. Trust me on this - CR664A is outstanding, dries quickly and is priced around $26 (50 sheets). It is much better than Q1785A. I have used it with my Photosmart C7280 and now with my Photosmart 7525e. Exceptional results with very accurate color and brightness. I prefer the feel of the backside of the CR664A to the 1785A and they are same thickness. Hope this points you in the right direction. I do not have/use Q1785A any longer and do not remember.

The chinese cree xml 1200 lumens is brighter but not by much. Those claimed 1200 lumens are rubbish although it is still very bright, its closer to 700 lumens and the optics are way superior con the cygolite. The cygolite is more trustworthy, realiability on those generic chinese lights is a crapshoot, especially with the battery. I have both.

It appears to me that the importer is a bit remiss in dealing with the details. In addition to the discrepancy in brightness, he also lists two different wattage ratings. I suspect that he is now selling the 20-watt version of this light, vs. the older 18-watt version, and simply botched the ratings. (1650-lumens)/(18-watts) = 91.7-lumens/watt(1950-lumens)/(20-watts) = 97.5-lumens/wattBoth of these figures are VERY efficient, and replace fluorescent tubes VERY well.

Yeah. Home Depot. $19.88 Defiant 12 outlet. Wider spacing for fat and bulky adapters. SKU is 1000021669 and it has surge protection! Way better then the Tripp Lite. Wish I hadn't bought the Tripp Lite. I can't ever imagine anyone ever paying its regular price $89. Even $40 is steep compared to the one mentioned.

best quality for the price is maglite/protac is brighter but more expensive

The 4th generation model is made with heavier metal than the 3rd generation and is very compact. It uses 1 AA battery while the Third Gen uses 2 AAA batteries which makes it a longer skinnier otoscope. The 4th Gen model also has an insulflation outlet and the ability to use standard disposable specula. It can be used by professionals because of this. The 4th Gen model also uses an optical quality glass lens that is resistant to scratches while the third gen model has a smaller plastic lens. The nice thing about LED besides its brightness is the fact batteries last and last. The big name brand companies do not like LED because they usually will charge $25-$35 for a bulb replacement. Over time this is where the real profits are made since incandescent bulbs like halogen contain a fine filament that heats up to produce light. It also burns up over time and even sooner if they are ever dropped or handled roughly. LED is impervious to shock to trauma and will usually last a lifetime. Even if it ever does go out our replacements are only $5 and this includes the shipping.

Sorry Cynthia, I have not idea what would make that product worth over 30 times the price. Note that you chose the warm white color (2000k). The neutral write (4000k) & the cool white (6000k) each give slightly more light at a cost within pennies.

Typically the dimmer question has to do with the bulbs rather than the fixture itself. This fixture comes with 2 compact fluorescent bulbs that have pins in their bases. I gave those bulbs away and purchased ones that are not so bright. The bulbs are called GU24 bulbs, which refers to their 2 pin bases (rather than screw type). It is unlikely that the bulbs that come with the fixture are dimmable because dimmable fluorescents cost about $10 each, but you can buy your own. To be on the safe side, you might want to check with customer service at Maxlight to make sure this will work and not be dangerous.

No, a higher wattage doesn't help. It's bright enough for my taste, but if you don't like pink light, buy a white light. I wish I had waited for the out-of-stock white globe.

you can get one through pureland supply for 128.00. the price of the bulb is pretty good since the price of a new projector is pretty expensive. I have had my projector for two years and never had a problem.

I don't know about the Cree but if # of lumens means anything, I would assume the Cree would be better. I am very satisfied with my Cygolite.

No they have better kind than, this product, try to find one with the diming switch, because this light is to bright all the time, so if you are up close, people tend to sqent there eyes. I went with 160LED with diming swich for like $35.00 only $11.00 more dollars and rechargable battery for $8.96 total $43.96

I ending up buying the Mits wd-73835. It is the higher end model. Still a great deal vs plasma. The Mits bulbs are now only $99. On the other hand the Samsung at $1730 is a wicked deal and no bulbs to buy.

I wouldn't listen to all the naysayers. I have a Tecsun PL 660, and yeah it's good, but I also want one of these. And I've heard good things about them too. One feature I like is the light stays on while plugged in (while the Tecsun doesn't).

I have the PT-65 and I have had it for years. I cannot see that it is any better than the PT-70. I only paid about $15.00 for it years ago. It does not have a charger, uses 3 AA batteries only. I was shocked at the price here. I would not pay that much for it.
