Yes it is good. The t5 bulbs i used did have the resistor already soldered into the bottom. And as Mike says it made it so much easier. I only cut mine as i had to replace screen but i would try the bending method first though. One thing i also noticed is two of my original lcd backlight bulbs werent soldered properly onto the pcb board and i didnt even have to unsolder them.
