| This bulb was purchased at Costco in the Summer of 2009. Today, 11/06/2009, the bulb smoked and burned when switched on. It is a safety hazard. We will never have a product by this manufacturer in our house ever again. The bulb is a fire hazard and should not be offered for sale. Outside of burning, the bulb appears normal. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has been notified, along with UL who certified the bulb under # 170906. This particular bulb has an extraordinary short life and a terrible safety record. |
