I bought 4 of these to use as grow lights. Price wise these were a very good deal at 18 bucks for two, however shipping was a bit high at 16 dollars, although I can't complain really considering the size of these things. It did take a bit of time to arrive, but it was coming from California so I suppose thats to be expected. It was extremely well packed however, and even though the box was damaged by UPS, the lights were fine. All 4 lit up, and they appear to be extremely bright. I haven't tested whether they are actually 105 watt or not, but for the price, even if there less than 105 watt its still worth it. I haven't installed these yet, so I cannot comment on there longevity, however they will be running 18 hours a day every day, so I will be back to update this review in a few months on how long these last. Lastly, size, I cannot understate this, these things are MASSIVE. They dwarf regular CFL's, so be aware of that, and make sure these will fit for your application. For me, they are in bare fixtures, and so therefore the size is not a problem, but might be for somebody expecting to put these in a regular lamp.Overall a good product, good shipping and very affordable. Thank you LimoStudio

--- Carl Jr. Review Bottom Line ---Overall I do recommend these Monster light bulbs.Overall I would buy this again if I needed to.Pros:- Long lasting: I have been using them in and off for the past 4 years and they are still going strong.- Flexibility: I even use them in desk lamp fixtures when I need a lot of light.- Brightness: they are every bit as bright as advertised.- Color: They are very close to daytime color.Cons:- They are not strong enough to withstand the impact of a ceiling fan at high speed.I really love these light bulbs. I had four of them for my studio photography. I wish I could’ve made an array of 12 of these bad boys. But I got out of doing a lot of studio work. I had one on a stand and I lifted the stand up to move it forgetting about the ceiling fan and shattered one. Other than that they all still work 4 years later.Now that I do not do much studio photography I have used them for long periods of time in ceiling fan lights or desk lamps that can fit these monsters and I have not had any problems.I can't wait till one day I get some LED bulbs that are this bright at this price and if this quality! But for now these cannot be beat and I do not hesistate to buy more when the time calls for it.

In my home studio and for table top photography I've been using 5800K bulbs which have served me well although it takes an awful lot of lamps with out using a diffuser to get the amount of light I want.On a hunch I ordered a set of these although only one bulb arrived in the order, so make certain you check for two. Amazon was quick to resolve the problem and in the mean time I used one 5800 along with the new 6500 and the results were superb the brighter light results in a better quality image and far less time spent in post editing.I was surprised at the sheer size of these giants as they measure a whopping 11 inches long and equally huge 12 inches in circumference - these bulbs are gigantic!Which means they're also heavy so make certain your light stands are sturdy enough to hold the weight so they wont tip over and be aware of how far they extend to avoid hitting one with your shoulder as you move your lighting around, if that's something you do.I used four of them today without umbrellas or other diffusers and the extra light is nice and clean and extremely bright. That the bulbs aren't UL approved is an issue I considered but after checking the same specification bulbs at B&H, 47th Street Photo and a few others the price runs as high $39 per bulb so in relationship to price these are a superb value. Of course, having a fire start kind of deflates any sense of getting a great deal.On the other hand most of my bulbs aren't UL approved and I've never had a problem ( knocks on wood). But I suggest taking precautions - always unplug your surge protector from the wall outlet when your finished as a tiny amount of current runs through every electrical device even when turned off.If you need some really bright light, you can't beat the price on these.

I received my bulbs on time and packaged very well to prevent breakage during shipment. The outer box was well labeled as being fragile too.I purchased these bulbs as spares to the same type and wattage as the 2 that came in my LimoStudio Photography Studio Lighting Kit. I don't want to be stranded without lighting in case of an accident or if a bulb burns out. I still consider myself an amateur photographer, but I'm learning from someone that has been in the business for quite some time. The majority of my photos have been taken with my white backdrop and another backdrop that reminds me of a tie-dye pattern, mostly blue with a little yellow, and very small amounts of brownish-red and light green. It took me a little time to get my lights positioned for proper lighting (Thanks to my daughter for being patient with me) and for my liking, but the 2 constant lights worked perfectly. (Both umbrellas are black with silver for reflecting the light.) After several people saw one photo shoot using these bulbs for lighting, I received 4 requests, within 1 1/2 weeks, to take family photos and photos of their children.I'll continue to buy these bulbs, since they suit my needs.Brian, PA
