            Daylight bulbs, which fit into any common light socket. They are a bit too long for some table lamps, but otherwise will work in a table lamp if you remove the shade hanger.
            I use as replacements for fluorescent light heads I have in studio, and these work fine. Also use to replace overhead incandescent bulbs (in ceiling lights) with daylight balanced bulbs -- that usually means you need to leave the glass cover off the fixture while the bulb is installed.

            It's a light bulb... screw it in, turn it on, it works!

            I ordered 10 of these to go with my Westcott Ulite 3 kit... the quality of light is good and being daylight balanced makes it easy for WB adjustment.

            The only drawback is you need 4 of these to equal 1 standard incandescent bulb, so have a bag or box handy for storage when not in the soft box... keep the boxes they come in!

            Overall, a very good value.

              Good color rendition for photographing bead weaving. If the term seems strange, an "Edison base" is a regular household light bulb base.
