It is not a Reveal Bulb. That said, it works well for me with the expected brightness and lower temperature of a CFL. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a light bulb! *by L***S on April 4, 2017* What can I say... It's a light bulb. It's very big and very bright. It's probably too big to fit in most fixtures, but ymmv. ### ⭐ Nice CFL bulb when they work. Many, if not most, are defective and have a short life. *by R***9 on September 3, 2016* This bulb takes longer to reach full brightness and is not as bright as previous GE 78965 bulbs I have bought. Perhaps a slow leak, which means a short life. It was a good value at $5.95, and that is if it lasts 6 months. 2nd update: Last bulb Lasted about 2 hours. I use 6 of these over a bench in the garage. I may turn on this bench light once or twice a month for no more than 30 minutes. These recent bulbs arte failing faster than the ones I purchased 3 to 6 months ago. I will now have to switch to a different bulb. Simple, these bulbs are junk. I spoke with the GE Rep and these bulbs have been discontinued because of a high failure rate. Amazon apparently is the only place you can get them. Perhaps they bought them for only pennies on the dollar. GE hopes to have a LED replacement. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/14144309-ge-78965-55-watt-3860-lumen-general-purpose-t5-spiral](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/14144309-ge-78965-55-watt-3860-lumen-general-purpose-t5-spiral) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
