You can illuminate your space with the Flashpoint 45W 5500K Spiral CFL Fluorescent Light Bulb, a modern and energy-efficient solution that offers the equivalent output of a 225-watt traditional 'hot light'. This compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) is designed to consume only 45 watts of power, making it a superior choice for energy-conscious users. Designed to fit into a standard light fixture base within a shallow reflector, this light bulb features a short profile that is compatible with Edison 26 to 27mm (E26-E-27) screw bases. These bases are commonly found in a variety of lamps, making this bulb a versatile addition to your lighting setup. The Flashpoint 45W 5500K Spiral CFL Fluorescent Light Bulb shines with a daylight color balance, making it an ideal replacement for standard tungsten bulbs in table lamps. This feature is particularly beneficial for video filming, where blending outdoor light with interior lit scenes or daylight LEDs is required. With this bulb, there's no need to gel windows or undergo time-consuming post-production to achieve pleasing hues. Engineered with a slim fluorescent tube, this CFL is designed to replace an incandescent light bulb, fitting compactly into the space of an incandescent bulb thanks to its spiral configuration. A compact electronic ballast is installed within the base of the lamp, further enhancing its compact design. Compared to incandescent lamps providing the same amount of visible light, this CFL uses one-fifth to one-third of the electric power and lasts eight to fifteen times longer. While the initial purchase price may be higher than an incandescent lamp, the Flashpoint 45W 5500K Spiral CFL Fluorescent Light Bulb can save over five times its purchase price in electricity costs over its lifetime. Plus, it operates at a cooler temperature, making it a safer choice for your home or workspace.

Item was on backorder but we finally got them! 
Thanks!

As Expected

Came exactly as described and works perfectly. These are not super bright, so keep that in mind when purchasing. These are better for photos where you can place the lights very close to your subject or for ambient light accents. These can also work as decent video lights if you're vlogging or doing talking head type work since you can place them close in front of you out of view.

Exactly what they say they are.

They work as expected. While and good light, strong enough for even illumination and very good when going through diffusers

Good purchase of light bulbs

GREAT COMPANY FAST SHIPPING

Good product for the cost.

I’m serious, it’s super hard to find EXACTLY these bulbs. These and the 60’s, one of these are off by like 5 watts but who cares. Oh, so people buying these.. the bulbs are perfect. Equal to noon day sun in all aspects except heat. The boxes came like little rectangle jewels. I love them.

Don’t ever stop selling these.

Given the range of products available, this CFL performs as intended, without the high price of a "Branded" lamp (which may no longer be available). There are differences in the CRI, but may be negligible, for most applications. If Colour is a primary concern, switch to LED Corn Cobs, insert a Colour Reference, and correct in Post.

Flashpoint CFL's do the job

Would buy again

I love these lights and they were each individually packaged in styrofoam and all arrived perfectly in tact!

Perfect!

Exact replacement  for what we needed, works great, shipped and received in good order and time.

Good bulb reasonable price

Ordered these to fill my studio lights. Quick, easy, sturdy.

Good bulbs. Good price.

Good quality bulb, I use it with my Flashpoint soft box. Just keep the box and styrofoam the bulb comes in for safe storage.

Great quality for low price

While I have not needed to use any these replacement bulbs yet they are an exact match to my current bulbs.

Excellent product

arrived in perfect condition and all seven functioned correctly

let there be light.

To answer a potential buyer's question, Lumens versus effective Lumens towards your subject is quite complicated, the biggest factor being the shape and reflectence of the reflector you use.  A simple wattage caculation would put this at around 4,000 lumens but you could focus this light by using a parabolic reflector, either the cheap ones from a hardware store, the larger cloth soft boxes without the diffusion cloth, etc.  Just buy it and try it.  Experimentation is half of the fun of photography! Be sure to adjust your camera's white balance manually if you don't like the auto white balance colors.

Lumens depends on reflector used

These will not fit in older Smith Victor (yellow)lamp reflectors so I was not able to use them.

Don't Always Fit

Great supplemental daylight source when used with the inexpensive ($ 15) clamp on reflectors from a hardware store.
Be sure to manually adjust your white balance, as with any light source.
I would also suggest using masking or gaffer's tape to secure the clamps.
By only using 20% of the electricity of incandescent lights, they run cooler and won't overload your electrical circuits.
All CFL bulbs are fragile so use care to avoid dropping them.
