That's the right one. HD and Lowes have them as well, but cost about $35. Haven't seen them in the Roseville Costco, but haven't been there in awhile, so who knows.

I've got 2, and their both doing fine. FWIW you can get new bulbs at HD or Lowes for $10, same as we bought the whole fixture for.

Mine's doing fine?
The bulbs always look weird when they first start up each morning,
let them warm up for like 5 mins and then are pretty bright then..

I did a group buy on them last time. I got them from the Vacaville Costco. The reason why they were so cheap is because it included a PG&E rebate. When I was there a few weeks ago, they still had a pallet full. I would offer to buy some more, but I don't think I will be heading back out to that Costco until Saturday/Sunday (after the meeting).

Xia - if your bulb is dying out, please bring it back to me and I will swap it out for you. I can always do an exchange at Costco.

I can guarantee at least one of the white elephant gifts will be one of these lights!
