Delivery arrived today Wednesday 29th of May. Checked the items and they are the best. Tried every where for 120 volt 100 watt and 150 watt bulbs, couldn`t get them anywhere, then went on to the Bulb America website and got what was needed. The bulbs are for a current limiter for powering up AA5 (All American 5) vacuum tube AM radios. Happy with purchase and would highly recommend Bulb America as a business, thanks very much. Thank you.
I ordered 32 very small, two-prong LED bulbs from BulbAmerica recently. I ordered double the number I would need so that in the future I could easily replace them. I paid over $150 for these bulbs; it was more than I would have liked, but their shipping was high for a smaller order, so I didn't want to do multiple orders. I figured since they were LED, they would last forever. Boy was I wrong. Three to four weeks in, more than half of the Chinese-made bulbs had failed: switching on and off or simply going out. Six weeks in and I've exhausted all the replacements. Half the lights are empty sockets now (since I've removed them), and several of the remaining ones barely produce any light. I previously had incandescent bulbs for these lights instead, although I prefer LED. There were no issues with those, and they lasted a surprisingly long time. I thought BulbAmerica would do some measure of quality control for the brands they stock, but they clearly don't. I suspect in reality they're actually just a drop shipping company. No surprise, BulbAmerica refused to stand by their product. They said that since the product arrived at my home and it was outside their warranty period, they had no responsibility for the outcome. What they don't tell you is that their bulbs might fail right around the time their warranty ends. As a side note, the reason I ordered 32 is because they wanted nearly $20 to ship a box of 16 very small bulbs. This box easily fits in your palm and would actually cost about $5 to ship. Don't buy from them.
Bulb works flawlessly. It was difficult to install, though. The screw hole alignment was ever so slightly off, had to curse and finagle to install (installing upside down standing on my sectional sofa). I know it was the bulb housing because as one point I quit trying to install the new bulb and reinstalled the old bulb. The old one went back in without a hassle, proving it was the screw alignment in the housing and not installer error.
The rating for the bulb is for initial quality, since its only been installed but a few days. The picture quality was equal to the factory bulb. Will update at a later time. Couldn't pass up such a great price. Normally I would suspect that there just couldn't be such a big difference in the prices. But what made me decide to take the chance was that, "it's just a light bulb", it shouldn't cost $250. Heck, it shouldn't even cost $60!
Update, this is two years later. The bulb lasted me a year, just as long as the original factory bulb. When that one went out I ordered a second bulb, but gave me trouble after 2 weeks so I ordered another one. When I got that one, just for kicks, I reinstalled the one that went out, and surprisingly it worked! It's possible the projector was at fault and not the bulb and when I turned it off and powered it back up it fixed itself. I will continue buying these bulbs. I may order real soon even though I don't need one immediately because I'm assuming the tariffs on Chinese goods are kicking in now or in December.
I have used BA years ago and recently placed an order. Everything went smoothly. Just miss the old days when I knew someone at the company.
Bulb works great restored picture to what it was new. Will purchase this bulb again in the future when needed & would highly recommend to anyone.
So far it is working great, no problems, it arrived sooner than i expected. I will keep using this company when bulb goes out again
These were just what I needed, I wish it was a bit clearer that the bulb was not included. Thanks for shipping so quickly!
Bulb America is a great source to find hard-to-find bulbs. I've used them twice to replace a bulb in a rear projection TV. Their prices are almost unbeatable. However... they charge a lot for shipping which is ridiculous in today's world of online retailers. I paid for USPS 3 day priority shipping. This was on a Friday. I was happy to receive an email later that day that my order had "shipped." It turns out that they printed the label but it had not been delivered or picked up by USPS at all so it hadn't really shipped. That was misleading. And then nothing happened over the weekend which is understandable for Sunday but I expected it to move on Saturday. Nope. And then Monday was a holiday so that is excusable. And then Tuesday morning I check it again and USPS predicts it will arrive on Friday... 4 days later. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I gave them every excuse for its delay including a weekend and a holiday and it's still arriving late. And I essentially had no choice but to use the lowest shipping cost which was the 3 day priority because all the other faster shipping options cost almost as much as the bulb itself. Unfortunately, I will probably use them again if necessary because other websites that offer free and RELIABLE shipping charge much more for the bulb. Bulb America undercharges on their costs so they can overcharge on their shipping and then don't seem to appreciate fast customer service. The extra cost of using other online retailers might just be worth it. Use a calculator before purchasing and weigh the costs of time and shipping before giving into the questionable service standards of this site.
I pledge allegiance, to the site, of the United States of Bulb America, and to the awesome Website for which it stands, one vendor, under lights, indivisible, with halogens and discounts for all.
After trying all the "discount replacements" I came across BulbAmerica. I wish that I would have found them first.
I ordered these bulbs for my Christmas trees. I received them very quickly and I'm very satisfied with pricing, shipping, etc. very happy!
Will order again next time I need a bulb. This is a better quality bulb than the last one I purchased from a different place.
Bulbs were a perfect match, the price was good, and the order was complete. I will order from you again! Thanks!
Wow" of all the replacement bulbs I purchased, this was the best! The picture was spectacular! Better color, better hues. You get what you pay for.
Only time will tell! Last one I bought lasted only 90 days. Bought it from lamps pros. Hopefully this one will last longer.
Nothing to question here. Exactly what you order you get, and fast ship. Recommend Recommend Recommend
