6500k light bulb * 1
    #26682776 - 05/20/20 07:52 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

I want to get some 6500k light bulbs but my socket only supports 2 prong/GU24 bases so my options are very limited. I've searched online and I came across these 2 products.

https://www.amazon.com/SleekLighting-23Watt-Listed-Spiral-1600lm/dp/B07QKN9MJ8

and

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Feit-Electric-100-Watt-Equivalent-T3-Spiral-Non-Dimmable-GU24-Base-Compact-Fluorescent-CFL-Light-Bulb-Daylight-6500K-BPESL23TM-GU24-D-CAN/301140990

Essentially they both have the same specifications. Both are 6500k and emits 1600 lumens using 23 watts. However, there's a big price difference of about $12 if buying a 4pack and the pricier one (home depot) has much more reviews. Is it a name brand thing or is the home depot bulbs much better which translate to higher price/more reviews? Which one should I buy? Or are there cheaper recommendations for 6500k lighting?

If they're both 6500k I would think no difference, I also trust numbers of reviews.

I prefer 4ft linkable led lights, they're only available in bundles on Amazon. I got ones with higher lumens, wasn't sure if that made a difference.

I use 5000k/blue CFL bulbs and they do the trick just fine.

I would argue brand does make a different. I one EcoSmart CFL 6500K. Heres a Philips version thats really similar to what I have: Philips CFL 6500K 23Watt Bulb Pack

45-watt Mega CFL
