GE Light Bulbs

Had a GE 72w halogen light bulb BLOW UP and cover my cat and I in hot shrapnel. :( Maybe we should bring back manufacturing to the UNITED STATES. I didn't vote for Trump, but I am strongly considering we really do need a dose of MAGA please.

Over last few years, I bought many LED bulbs of different brands. One of them is this GE dimmable 10.6 W LED bulb, which was priced higher than other store-brand bulbs but I thought I should try it since GE bulbs must be of a higher quality. I was very wrong. This is the first LED bulb that broke among many LED bulbs I bought. A while after it gets turned on, it becomes dark, it flashes, becomes dark. It seems there is some bad connection inside the bulb. I'm certain it is not even a year old. I thought LED bulbs would last almost forever. What happened to GE who invented (or promoted?) the six sigma?

Over the last year I've had these light bulbs fail in a matter of days of replacing them. Absolute junk. What happened to GE quality? No matter what fixture I use them in, they fail after a very short time. One failed after two days. The others may have a weeks worth of life before they fail. Can't justify buying these bulbs anymore.

I'm so sorry to see GE quality go down. I purchased GE bulbs less than 4 months ago with my first package having a broken bulb when arriving home. I returned the bulb for a second package and one of the bulbs never worked. I returned that package and got a 3rd package with having used all of the bulbs up. They don't last more than one month each. I have other brands and older bulbs with the same multi bulb light fixture that are dusty and still working. I just replaced my GE last bulb and will not purchase a GE light bulb again. The problem appears to go beyond quality control. Most unfortunate!

Last night my son was laying on his bed when the GE bulb in his ceiling light fixture exploded! Sending glass everywhere and burning holes in his sheets. Thankfully he was not hurt but very scared. After doing some research online I was shocked to see that this is an issue that the company is very aware of! Why are these dangerous bulbs still on the market? I will never purchase anything from GE again.

The lamp had a GE - USA made 890 Lumens Soft white 120 V light bulb. The lamp can hold 2 light bulbs. It had been on for 2 hours. The light bulb was about 3 months old. After turning the lamp off, within 3 minutes, the light bulb exploded. It shattered and scattered the shards up to 13 feet in all directions from the lamp. After reading reviews of GE light bulbs...never buying these again. I was lucky that I had just gotten up from the chair that sits by the lamp.

I have used GE bulbs in the past and not had problems until recently. 12/24/17 I replaced a bulb in a hanging light over my counter, using a new 40 W med. base bulb. Three days later it burned out. I replaced it again and 1/1/18 that bulb burned out. I did not replace it. 3/16/18 I replaced a bulb in our range hood with a 40 W med. base bulb. 3/17/ 18 it burned out and I replaced it with the other bulb from the 2- bulb package, and it burned out next day. I won't be buying anymore GE bulbs.

Never in my relatively long lifetime have I ever seen a light bulb explode, out of the blue, for no reason, while the light is on. Glass went flying everywhere. I was watching TV about 4 feet away and definitely felt small pieces of glass hit me. My honey was making bread. We had to throw away 4 loaves, after hours of rising and pounding down, right before they were to go into the stove because we couldn't risk shards of glass in the bread. My honey was angry, I was sad. I searched through the broken glass and found at least one legible piece. It said GE 1270 Lumens Hungary on the top.

Just yesterday I purchased 2 4pks of Ultra Soft White 40w 2x Longer Life light bulbs (made in Hungary). I came home from the store and replaced 3 of the light bulbs from 2 light fixtures, (3 bulbs each), above our bathroom vanity. The very next morning I turned on the bathroom lights and 2 of the 3 bulbs that I just replaced had blown out already??? These light bulbs are not the only GE light bulbs I have had this problem with. I have always used Reveal light bulbs as well as smaller light bulbs used in pendant lights. Within the past couple of years it seems as though the regular light bulbs blow out within days to weeks to months of installing them. I am tired of wasting money on GE and will switch to another brand to check them out.

1270 Lumens Soft White 72W 120V F6 Hungary - These bulbs actually shatter and extrude glass for at least 2 yards! And that is with a protective shield [Four-Light Bath Bar with White Glass Shade]! Never buying these bulbs again!
