Bulbs I received were defective - get what you pay for?

Within hours of use in a track light, a bulb cracked.  I figured it was a fluke and replaced the bulb.  Unfortunately, that bulb also worked for a few hours and cracked.  I had to seek a refund, since two of the bulbs bulbs were almost immediately defective.

Shipping was fine (normal Amazon ship time) - cost was good - but sometimes the idea of buying in bulk is not all it's cracked up to be - when they arrived, I eagerly pulled one from the pack and slipped it into the fixture - turned it on and it worked fine, for one whole day!  Then it started flickering - so I pulled it out and threw it away - put new bulb in and it works fine (for now anyway).  But upon reflection, I'm now wondering how many of the remaining bulbs in the pack will actually work when called upon - ???  So this may turn out to be one of my best buys of the year, or maybe the worst!  Time will tell.

Very disappointed in this order.  Bought these for my wife to hang up on the patio.  Very difficult installation (not the product, but where I put it).  Got all 50 bulbs in (49 because I dropped one.. would have been great to have a couple extra).  Got down off the ladder, and 31 of the 49 bulbs were not working.  Sent seller an email (no response).  Saw a forum post about the connection of the bulbs.  Took a working one out put it in a nonworking socket.. the bulb came on.  The problem with all the bulbs that were out was the connection to the socket.  Went through the process of screwing them all down tighter.. but some needed just the right amount of torque.  Got them all to work after about an hour of this.

Last night, plugged them in and about 20 of them were out again.  Some came on and off.  To go back up and test the torque on each again would be a waste of time, especially if they are going to stop working

Not happy at all, received my bulbs today 10 bulbs and only 1 works. Do you people not check these to make sure they work. I would like a refund!

These appear to be possible rejects from a quality review.  Three of the lights I received did not plug into sockets.  The distance between the pins\connectors was off by a few millimeters.  I got two to work after slight bending of the connectors... the 3rd mismatched unit broke when trying to adjust.

Once installed - the lights worked okay.

Considering the price for a 10-pack plus shipping was nearly 1/5th the cost from a local retailer - I'm okay with them.

I ordered three sets of these bulbs to use on my RV. When they arrived, very promptly I might add, I removed the lens from the front directional, removed conventional bulb and inserted the LED bulb. I noticed the bulb was very loose in the socket. When I tested the bulb it worked when I held it firmly in the socket. I figured it was a bad socket; let me try the rear directional, same problem. Bulb just does not seat firmly, hence poor contact. I called the company and I claimed the bulbs were defective, the reply I got, and we sell thousands of these bulbs they have to be good. I could get a refund, but they would not pay return postage. I kept the bulbs to remind myself not to deal with this vendor. I went to the local auto parts store, purchased a replacement bulb for the RV, it worked just fine in the socket. , vendor
Draw your own conclusions.

Watch out for faulty bulbs. Purchased three boxes of 6/ box and found 1 in each of the two boxes to be bad!

WE PURCHASED ABOUT $1,500 DOLLARS OF BULBS FROM THIS COMPANY, TORCHSTAR.
IT TOOK A VERY LONG TIME TO RECEIVE OUR ORDER AND MANY TEXTS, EMAILS AND CALLS.
OWNER WAS PROMPTLY CORRESPONDING UNTIL THE DAY WE PAID.
AFTER THAT SHE IGNORED OUR CALLS AND TEXTS AND THEN AN THEN SOME PERSON EMAILED ME SAYING THAT STARTING THAT DAY ALL COMMUNICATION WILL BE WITH HIM ONLY.
UPON FINALLY RECEIVING AND UNPACKING, WE IMMEDIATELY FOUND AT LEAST 10% OF OUR ORDER DEFECTIVE, AS AN EXAMPLE, PINS ARE LOOSE AND RETRACT INSIDE THE BULB.
BESIDES VISIBLE DEFECTS, MANY OF THESE BULBS STARTED FLICKERING LIKE A STROBE LIGHT OR SIMPLY STOP WORKING WITHIN 1 WEEK.
EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A HEADACHE REPLACING ONES THAT DIDN'T WORK AND WERE DEFECTIVE BUT THEY DID REPLACE THEM.
WHILE AGAIN WAITING LONG TIME FOR THE REPLACEMENTS, AT LEAST 20 MORE STOPPED WORKING AND 8 STARTED FLICKERING (LIKE A STROBE LIGHT). I DIDN'T CONTACT THEM AGAIN.
SINCE WE RECEIVED OUR ORDER IN OCTOBER UNTIL NOW, DECEMBER-08-2012, TWO MONTH AND ABOUT HALF OF OUR ORDER DOESN'T WORK. LED BULBS SHOULD WORK FOR YEARS.
EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE.
btw: WHILE ORIGINALLY WAITING FOR MY ORDER, I BOUGHT ABOUT 30 LED LIGHT BULBS FROM THE HOME DEPOT AND HAVE ZERO PROBLEMS.

UPDATE:
today is February 8, two month after last update. 98% of bulbs are dead, some of them flickering.

Bought these bulbs on November 1st 2017, replaced both sidesto get equal lights, here it is and the bulb that was installed on the passenger side burned out on low beam. Arent these supposed to be warranted? If so please call 330 428 0853 and advise me what i do next.  Been over week since i wrotevthis review, Amazon nor Socal-led has responded, i would strongly advise against purchasing anything, these bulbs are defective and should not be bought. I am done with any further purchases.

I bought these from Home Depot for $9.99.  All three bulbs fail after 10-20 minutes of usage.  They just flicker and turns off by itself.  I tried different lamp and same result.  On the other hand, the no-name-brand cheap LED light bulbs that I bought some where work well.  I am disappointed with GE.

Only one of the bulbs worked, the other one comes on but flickers amd shuts off within a minute. I switched the bulbs around to make sure it wasn't my ballast and got the same result. I'm now driving around with one 8,000k bulb and one OEM. I don't recommend unless you're ok with getting half of what you paid for.

Two of the four bulbs went bad just a few days after the 30-day return window ended.  Each of them was working fine when I last turned them off, and then next time I turned them on, it flickers.  I had extras, and the replacement works just fine, but 50% of them failing so soon is awful.  The whole point of paying extra for LED's is that they last a long time while using less power, but 40 days isn't enough!

Additionally, the two boxes I bought have drastically different color temperature.  The first box (the ones that went bad) were very blue, while the 2nd box is a lot warmer.  It seems each box is color-matched, but there can be a lot of variation from box-to-box.

Not sure if mine were defective but the bulbs got really hot almost instantly and then started to smell like plastic melting.  I removed them and sent them back.

Two out of six bulbs did not work right out of the package.  I gave them a try in my hybrid camper, but not very bright.  I will be returning.
