We've had this kitchen light fixture since the house was built over 30 years ago. In the past five years or so the replacement U-bent tube light bulbs have not performed very well. The bulb that I just bought a few weeks ago is presently still working properly, but this product is terrible. I've returned about 5 or 6 of these tube lights in the past two years because the bulbs don't last very long. One end of the tube bulb eventually becomes dark and the intensity of the light produced is diminished. Sometimes the light flickers and it looks like a disco dance effect and then it stops. Other times the light is delayed going on when you flip the switch or doesn't go on at all. If I get a step stool and remove the diffuser cover to access the bulb and touch the bulb, the light goes on. After awhile it gets very annoying dealing with these type of tube light bulbs. Eventually I will be replacing the whole fixture so I don't have to deal with this type of bent tube fluorescent light any more. I would not recommend this type of light fixture and U-bent tube light bulb to anyone.

It lights up, fit properly, and uniform illumination. Sad to see it is made in China. Will hopefully last as long as previously purchased ones.

Replacement bulbs (tubes) for our office. Bulbs are great and fit our 24" square ceiling fixtures as they should, but wish store would stock these like they used to do. Not all fluorescent light fixtures take 48" straight bulbs.

Replaced my U shaped fluorescent bulbs with this Philips model. I didn't realize how dim my other bulbs were until I put these in. Wow what a difference. These have really brightened up the kitchen. My other bulbs would sometimes not light up when the light switch was turned on. Now these new ones light up every time. Good product.
