Is the bulb truly FOUR inches wide?

the bulb runs the circular perimeter - it's like a strip around the entire outside of the frame so - which measures approximately 4 inches in diameter - but there's no bulb or light in the black area as shown on the photo - only the circumference around it.

Yes, it is the length of the bulb. Many other bulbs were too long for my recessed lights. These were a perfect fit.

The dimensions are wrong. The item is as shown in the picture. My is installed in a difficult to access location so I can't measure it, but it adds about 1.5" to the bulb.

7" long, yes.But 1" 1/4 at the base and 1" 1/2 at the widest point near the bulb.

The bulb is approximately 2 1/4" from tip of bulb to bottom of base and 7/8" across widest part of bulb (about the same dimensions as any standard nightlight bulb)

I would say it is about four centimeters wide, but I would have to measure to be sure.

I don't think so because that size does seem very large indeed. I believe it's just the whole package size and not the bulb itself.

This is a 4 lamp fixture. The described dimension is misleading. The width of the fixture is 12". Other than that, the it is a fine product. We've been using it for more than a year and it's been so far so good.

I'm not familiar with the bulbs you're asking about, but the outside opening of the lamp is 3 inches in diameter. There appears to be a 1/4 inch clearance at the base of the bulb and the shade of the lamp. It is 3 inches from the top of the socket to the opening of the lamp shade. It has a standard light socket.

The length of the bulb actually just under 2 inches. The dimensions should be: 1.9" long x 0.6" diameter.

I just received my order. The body of the bulb is about .85" long and the G4 base "legs" are just over .30" making the total length 1.18". The diameter of the body of the bulb is .47".

I'm not sure how you are getting this measurement but it's larger than that. The flood light bulbs (P-38) are wider than 5" and wouldn't fit into a 4" wide fixture. But these fixtures are "standard" size for P-38 stage lighting fixtures, I've been using this types for many yours and from different manufacturers. Also, the price and quality were very good from this provider. Will order again!

I measured this Philips bulb at 4" tall by about 2-5/8" diameter at the widest part.

I'm not really sure about that. The have a standard size threaded base but the bulb itself is large at about 5 inches wide and 8 inches long, so take that into account.

It is larger than a quarter. But back of bulb is not flat like front. It has a part that sticks up about a quarter of an inch

I just pulled one of these out and measured. It's about 4.25" long. The glass bulb end is about 2.25" in diameter at the biggest place. And, of course, it has the standard "Edison" style screw-in base. It's actually quite small, and probably no larger than a 40W incandescent. The dimensions you mention must be for the bulb in its packaging!

Oh, no, no, no. It is a four HUNDRED watt bulb. You need a proper fixture and a ballast.
