 Bright! April 4, 2009

These CFLs are bright! We put one outside and it was putting out as much light as the street light across the street. Good deal! They were unfortunately too tall to fit in the interior fixtures I was hoping to replace. Something to keep in mind. Guess I need better light fixtures.
Happy with the product.

Once an environmentalist, always an environmentalist. When I saw the recent offer on Amazon for mini compact flourescent spiral bulbs I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to do a mass replacement of incandescent bulbs in my home, starting with the track-lights in my kitchen. I bought the 13-watt bulbs & they turned out to be almost too bright! I decided to see if the 23-watt bulb could actually replace a reading light in my bedroom. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it was more than adequate. I replaced a 150-watt incandescent with the 23-watt mini compact flourescent, & "Voila! There was Light! I have now replaced all the bulbs in my house & even the front porch light with flourescents with great satisfaction. Anyone who worries that these compact flourescents will not provide adequate illumination can lay their fears to rest. I highly recommend them! My electric bill has already reflected the improvement.

I ordered these 23-watt CFLs to replace 100-watt bulbs in a few locations at home. I had read that "cool white" fluorescents were better for reading. The bulbs work just fine. If you decide to use cool white CFLs, though, be prepared to have your living space lit up with the sort of bluish-white glow you'd see in a doctor's office or dentist's office.
In fact, in the living room, we actually decided to replace the cool whites with soft whites so that we had the slightly yellowish glow we've all become used to in living spaces. It was just too odd--almost eerie--having that antiseptic white glow.
We ended up putting the cool whites in light fixtures that were covered by yellowish covers or globes. That seemed to do the trick.
Now, all that being said, 100-watt soft white CFLs are just fine for reading. And people have told us they notice no difference between these new bulbs and the old incandescent bulbs we used to have in our house. I can't speak yet for longevity, however we're trying hard to heed warnings we've read stating that frequent on and off of the CFLs can shorten their lifespan to that of a standard incandescent. So we don't use them in closets, for example. Finally, I haven't gotten an electric bill yet since the changeover, but I'm hoping to at least make a dent in our usage.
 CFL Bulbs - COOL WHITE February 11, 2010

After installing these cool white bulbs, I realized I don't care for the starkness of their illumination. They were also just a tad too long for several fixtures but that error is mine as the product dimensions given were accurate. I have relegated these bulbs to the closets and basement where they serve us well.
