At first I was excited about the bulbs due to their luminosity and have even ordered more. Unfortunately, now is the case with all pears broken apart (!); the pears were in an open lamp, ie a heat accumulation can not be held responsible! Durability thus up to the end of the return period ... I took the photos of three different bulb at the same time (all purchased defective bulbs). Interestingly, there are different stages of resolution though I have all put into operation simultaneously. On the last picture you can see that the cables are exposed to the falling apart! VORICHT! I recommend all buyers to check the bulbs to prevent dangerous situations. My recommendation: do not buy, or if already bought and the return period is over checked regularly.
