Gentle pressure was used, not brute force, when installing the bulb. This is the reason for the poor quality rating.
These are very bright (good), but very high glare even behind the plastic diffuser lens in the fixture.
The bulb didn’t meet my expectation with respect to the light quality (harshness and glare) of the bulb. The brightness was as expected.
The packaging was also annoying. The bulbs are well protected in their plastic cocoon surrounded by bonded cardboard, however, you must cut the packaging apart and pry open to remove the bulbs. This is in contrast to the thoughtfully designed packaging provided by Phillips for their LED candelabra bulbs which I purchased on the same order. The Phillips packing was very easy to open and allowed you to remove one of the three bulbs without destroying the packaging, allowing for protection of the remaining two unused bulbs.
