I guess you get what you pay for. I looked at other cheap Utilitech
bulbs and the 60W equivalent is only 5000 hours. Same size from
Sylvania is 25,000 hours and is only a buck or so more.

The other thing to keep in mind is "dimable" vs. "non-dimable."

The dimable bulbs (i.e. Feits from Costco) tend to be large and heavy. The bulb
base has extra electronics to managing the dimming. The "non-dimable" Philips
bulbs (traditional style - not the flat ones) are much smaller and lighter
weight. Depending on the type of dimmer you have, the non-dimable builbs may
still work.
