Amazon.com Product Description
The Grandrich ES-101 and ES-201 EZ Reader 27-watt fluorescent replacement bulb simulates outdoor sunlight, which is balanced across the entire spectrum of color visible to the human eye. This is the clearest, brightest, and most comfortable lighting you will ever use. Full-spectrum light helps reduce eye strain, provides more vivid colors and better contrast for reading, and creates sharp visibility for more detail. It is glare free making it ideal for computer use. The 10,000 hour bulb life lasts 6-10 times longer than standard bulbs and yet uses two-thirds less energy than an equivalent 100-watt incandescent bulb. This bulb will not hum or flicker and is a safe and cool alternative to incandescent and halogen bulbs. The bulb insures you will see more comfortably for reading, working, and all close up tasks and hobbies. It has earned the Energy Star certification.--Bree NorlanderWhat's in the Box

 No problems at all. September 12, 2006

I have had a Grandrich floor lamp for a couple of years. Went through one bulb in that time. The last time it flickered and died, I ordered a replacement bulb from Amazon. That one still didn't work. It turned out to be a bad electrical outlet in my apartment. After the manager replaced the outlet...no problems! I don't want to say that others with bad results had electrical problems, but that was true in my case. I will not hesitate to order replacement bulbs from Amazon.

I was really pleased to find this replacement bulb and at a great price. The light is so natural and I found it lasted as long as the original. I am an avid reader, and I find the light from this 27-watt replacement bulb reduces eyestrain and even helps lift my spirits on dark or rainy days.Grandrich EZ Reader 27-Watt Fluorescent Bulb #PL-27W

Seems that Amazon is the place to get what you want for a reasonable price!!
Looked high and low for this product and couldn't find it any cheaper and received it quick.

Remember a couple of years ago when these lamps were being marketed not merely as miraculous devices offering full-spectrum daylight but as a unique and revelatory opportunity to see nature's creation in all its celestial apparel? Frankly, the thrill was gone the moment the thing arrived, but it kept gracing a very limited area of my bedroom with its sunny beams--until I knocked it over. It's a fairly fragile sun--but not to worry. This one from Amazon is reasonably priced, is a cinch to install, and is no less resplendent than its predecessor (which really wasn't all that bright). If it's a miracle light as claimed, be assured that it's a readily replaceable, repeatable one.
 Life is NOT 10,000 hours February 2, 2006

10,000 hours = 416 days. In other words, more than a year.
I bought this replacement bulb on Oct 6, 2005. Today is the first of Feb. 2006--it died. Assuming that I never turned off the lamp during those 3 months, my math tells me that in order for the bulb to burn out I must have had the lamp on for 111 hours/day for five months. (111 hours x 30 days x 3 months = 9990 hours.) Only, I never quite lived a 111 hour day yet.
If I figure I used the lamp for no more than 6 hrs/day for those 3 months. I only got 540 hours out of it. However you look at it, it seems this bulb missed the mark on the 10,000 in a premature death.
