I've been looking for inexpensive alternatives to the $7 each malibu bulbs for my yard, and I was very excited when I came across these. They look very similar to the malibu and FEIT bulbs, but have a lens over the top that the others do not have. I thought this might be good, as maybe improved protection from the elements would extend their life. Upon installation they fit the fixtures fine and lit up brightly, as expected. That was the good news. The bad news is that they all failed within a month of installation, some within a few days. They simply burned out, as evidenced by the clear glass going to a frosted look. By contrast, the Malibu and FEIT bulbs would last for months and months before needing replacement (normally due to one of the posts corroding away). I will continue my hunt for a cost effective replacement bulb, but I won't be buying this one again, regardless of the price. Don't be lured in by the low cost. They're just horrible bulbs.
