Does anyone have an issue with these bulbs not seating into the socket? It seems the base wont screw all the way into the socket.

I haven't had any issues with that that I will say that I am a little disappointed in the fact that I have had 2 of these bulbs burn out in less than 6 months.

Well I haven't had a problem with them. Not sure what you mean by safe? They connect right into the GU24 base, you screw the E26 bulb in place. It adds about 3/4" in length to the bulb, so be mindful when you make your bulb selection. TONS of choices in that department in shape/size.

Hey there, ive purchased a cheap one and this one and I believe it may be another issue shortening the life of these bulbs... Maybe the fan ? Maybe excess dirt? Both of mine only lasted about 10 months (max) also.

Hi Joanne, I too ended up at Home Depot to try to get the right bulb & they no longer offered a replacement bulb for the lamp I bought there, so I rewired the fixture to accept a CFL. I have two of these bulbs & would be happy to ship them to you so you can try them. If they fit your application, send me something neat for Christmas & we're square. If they don't fit, you can donate them to the Goodwill, or ??? Thanks & Best Wishes, John

Tammy, I'm afraid my bulb was defective when received and had to be returned. I believe some others have described some of the things which you are now seeing. Check all of the reviews. Good luck.

you probably only need to replace the bulb socket and ground screws.I did that to 12 of them not long ago and they are working fine now.

I broke one of them by pushing it in instead of sliding in the space. The second one works perfect though. You have to hold the bulb with some paper towel or glove to make sure no contact happens. Then just slide it in one end and kind of fit it on the other end.

Mine don't stay on, buy I've noticed that they aren't very bright either..... led lights use less power then the factory incandescent style, maybe there's a constant voltage going to them that isn't enough to illuminate the factory lamp but is enough for the led? Just a thought

Are you sure you have the right bulb for the socket? Mine just snaps in with a push and stays in by itself. I haven't had to do anything with it since I put it in and it's working great.

I have 2 of these bulbs and they both work well, but I did figure out that they need to be in a single on off type socket{not a 3 way lamp socket}I hope this helps you.

I inserted the bulb to the base, but it is very loose. Since I installed it between A-Coil and Blower, I worry that it can go off by itself and be blown to everywhere by the blower. Any solution?

Make sure the plug in the back of the lamp is securely plugged into the base. It can become loose sometimes and I just push the little plug in so it is a better fit. Good luck with this problem.

I've had mine since Feb/2014, not issues so far. Be sure to wear latex gloves when installing to avoid getting oils/dirt on the bulbs.I've mentioned in my review, they are a little brighter, but don't expect HID brightness.

No. It's not the bulbs. It's the base. For some reason it shorts out. I've found it happens if you generate static shock while touching the lamp.my initial 2 went out with in weeks. (I bought 2) just had a replacement go out last week. So will be calling for a replacement again.

Sorry, haven't had the problem yet. My recommendation would be to try something you've probably done already - take the actual dead bulb to a lighting store or a Lowes or Home Depot to get an exact match.

I have mine screwed into the wall. The lightbulb covers slide off and I believe the bulbs screw in.

I just got mine. Other than the bulb being loose, I am quite satisfied. I notice nothing wrong with the cord. It could be a bit longer.
