Sunlite 88271-SU LED Horizontal PLD Light Bulb 9 Watts (26W Equivalent), 1050 Lumens, G24q Base 4 Pin, Ballast Dependant, CFL Replacement, UL Listed, 1 Pack, 30K - Warm White

I discovered a very low wattage light existing in the Kitchen exhaust fan/hood at our new house. I wanted more lumens and found what I thought was the perfect solution. While the bulb would have fit into the receptacle itself, the hood around that receptacle prevented it from going in all the way. I very sadly had to return the light.

The fluorescent bulb in our range hood died. This led cost about twice as much, but wow, is it bright! And much cooler running. It also works with the ballast so there’s no rewiring needed. Good product! Hopefully lasts longer than the fluorescents.

They lasted a year and then the two I bought burned out within a couple days of each other. Seems like they have a fuse on them that lasts an exact amount of time :p. In buying more though.

I looked for a long time for an easy way to upgrade from recessed CFL lights to LED and am glad to have found these Sunlite bulbs. These literally are plug and play! No need to do any bypass or rewiring of your existing CFL can lights. Just pop the old/burned out CFL bulbs and replace with these Sunlite bulbs. These particular bulbs are rotatable so you can adjust the light to focus where you want it. They are instantly bright as soon as you flip the switch and are way brighter than the old CFLs. They are a little longer than the cans in my house but it doesn't bother me at all. The bright light, the savings and never having to deal with those terrible g24q CFL bulbs is absolutely wonderful!

Excellent replacement for my CFL. Changed out all my bathroom bulbs with this LED bulb.

Frankly, i found it impossible to verify if this would work with any of the "ballast compatibility" information Sunlite had linked to. So I went ahead and just ried it.IT IS WAY BETTER, and much BRIGHTER than the CFL. I big improvement.

This LED bulb is a 1-to-1 perfect swap for a CFL G24q-3. Its power needs are much lower (1/3 the CFL's needs), it runs cooler, and it is *very* bright. This light feels twice as bright as the CFL it replaces. This is probably due both to the spectrum (LED is bluer) and actual total output.This replaced a range hood lightbulb in our kitchen.

I've had to keep replacing a Phillips 26W PL-C 4-pin CFL bulbs in my bathroom fan/light fixtures for years now, probably every 6 months. All of a sudden, nobody carries them in 3500K "neutral" white anymore, which is what I need.I picked up one of these LED bulbs to see how it would work out, and I just plugged it in today. The LED bulb is slightly longer, bigger, and heavier than the Phillips CFL bulb, but still easily fits into the fixture. More importantly, there are no offset tabs on the bulb base, like the Phillips and other PL-C bulbs have, so it plugged right into my fixture without any fitment issues. Brightness wise, it looks exactly the same as the Phillips CFL bulb. Since it's a LED bulb, it immediately turns on to full brightness with no 'warm up' process like a CFL bulb - something you really notice when the CFL bulb is dying and would soon need to be replaced. That said, the color temp of the LED 3500K bulb looks exactly the same as the Phillips 3500K CFL bulb.Overall, this is a great replacement bulb to the Phillips 3500 PL-C 4-pin CFL bulbs, but only time will tell just how long this LED bulb lasts. One major downside to this LED bulb is that it costs double what the Phillips CFL bulb costs at Home Depot ($6 vs $13). If this LED bulb lasts longer than a year, then it'll be worth it. But if stops working before a year, then I'll update this review with the results and change my rating for it.
