About Simba Lighting Small Globe G16.5 Round Bulb 40W E12 Candelabra Base
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
74% found it compatible with most fixtures, though 26% experienced compatibility issues
The bulbs are compatible with both Scentsy wax warmers and Better Homes and Gardens warmers, and the bulb base specifications were also mentioned.
The new bulbs have thinner frosting than the old ones, which would have caused a noticeable mismatch if not all 8 were replaced.
I compared the longevity of the bulbs from this company with the ones I bought from another company. The ones from the other company lasted over 6 years with my 2 tart burners, but most of the bulbs from this company lasted less than 24 hours, which is a huge difference.
66% appreciated its dimmer compatibility
The bulbs melt the wax like the original ones but tone down the light that shines through the warmer.
71% liked its long lifespan, while 29% experienced frequent burnouts
I noticed that the first bulb lasted around a month, a couple more bulbs lasted maybe 2 weeks but most of the bulbs lasted less than 24 hours.
Most of the bulbs lasted less than 24 hours, while a few lasted only a couple of weeks or a month.
Many bulbs had inconsistent frosting and were streaky, some were more opaque than others, and at least 2 had bent or squished threads that wouldn't fit into the socket.
