Not really a Blacklight Bulb

| Review Date: July 8, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Dennis Raines, |
| I bought this for the sole purpose of it being used as a black light. This however isn't a black light. It's more like a plain CFL with the glass tinted a purplish color. It doesn't make the UV light pop on whites for example- at all. I have another bulb that is a CFL true UV blacklight bulb- and it does as I expected, when doing a side by said comparison of the bulbs lit- it's obvious this isn't a blacklight at all. |

| This type of black light bulb doesn't work well as well as the fluorescent tubes. |
Cures UV epoxies well
|

| Reviewer: C. Morgan, |
After a couple other UV bulbs had failed to cure my two-part epoxy even as fast as the sun on a rainy day, I followed a friend's recommendation and bought the Feit. It cured the epoxy in a couple of minutes, exactly as required. The recommended UV cure light system was going to cost almost $1000; the Feit fits into any incandescent lamp and works almost as well for almost $990 less.
I'm not sure what else you use these things for, but this will definitely stay on top of my list for UV adhesive curing. |
works as expected

| Screwed in the bulb, turned on the switch, and my children were delighted. Works just as you hope it would. One thing to keep in mind though, this is a small black light, equiv to about a 60 watt bulb. By itself, it will obviously not perform as powerfully as a 100-200 watt fixture. But that's not what we want here. With this bulb, you can now do black light on a whim, where ever there is a socket. I swapped out all the lights in the kids bathroom for quite the tooth-brushing treat. They will never look at their mouths the same way again!. |
Something's not right here

| I'm reading all these positive reviews and saying to myself, Something's not right here. I bought one of these and it DOES NOT work well. Sure, if you compare it to an "incandescent bulb," which too many other reviewers suspisciously do, it is marginally better. But if you compare it to a full size black light fluorescent tube, this CF version is sorely lacking. This bulb, used with or without a shade, does not make white, like your teeth or on your clothes, glow brightly. It only marginally makes bright colors pop. The black light effects are not obvious; you have to really look for them. If you think you're going to use these at a party and everyone freaks out, forget it. I think the problem is the bulb is too bright. You would think it makes sense that a fluorescent light, even in CF form, would make black light work better, but it is a poor substitution for "real" black light fluorescent tubes. |
Works Great!!

| This thing works very well, I even compared it to my 18'' station and it was almost as bright. |
Great for Halloween decorations

| I got 3 of these for exterior lighting around Halloween and they look great. They give off the real ultraviolet light that makes the whites glow unlike incandescent bulbs. The only reason i did not give this a 5 Star is because of price per bulb. |
True "Black Light"

| Don't buy the incandescent type, only a flourescent can offer the desired effects of a black light. These work nicely. |
Great while it lasted!

My wife and I loved the effect of this bulb, while it lasted. It was much brighter than any other black light (intended for consumers) we'd seen in the past. Unfortunately, it burnt out within about a month of light use (a few minutes a day).
It may have just been a faulty bulb, but considering the high price (for a single bulb, anyway), I'd expect better quality control. |
