Another gotch is that if you buy a multi-pak and one is bad you have to return all the bulbs. I then bought a 3-pack of Standard base Sylvania CF bulbs at Home Depot. I was reluctant to purchase the no-name brands but it is apparent that the Sylvania brand is a piece of crap.
If you buy them in single packs you pay a lot more. I'd stay away from Sylvanias until they do something about their QC. One bulb was bad.
One of these three bulbs was bad. I bought a 2-pack of Sylvania Candelabra base CF at Lowes.
I took them back and bought two 2-packs. From these 4 bulbs, one of them was bad.
They are a bit slow to start, that is to get to full brightness. It takes about 1 to 2 seconds for them to initially light, and another 30 seconds or so to be fully lit. I find these bulbs to be very bright and a great value, they do appear to me to be a bit on the yellow side though. Getting these new bulbs also got me around to FINALLY cleaning the lamp shades and globes:-).
Most places I have 3-4 bulbs in the fixture I changed all of them to the fluorescent bulb. most of my house have these now. price wise, its almost the same as costco or little cheaper as I dont pay taxes.
I noticed these have life better than the ones I purchased from costco. Buy these save planet. seems to last for ever.
If you dont like the fact it takes few seconds, put a regular bulb and rest fluorescent. I purchased 12 pack from amazon when these were on sale for $17.00. it takes few seconds for these to light up.
s/h is free thanks to prime s/h (Thanks amazon). but thats ok with me.
The bulbs may take a few seconds to reach the maximum light, but it works well and of course, save your energy bill.
I tried to ordered the his new comedy songs CD and thought the light bulbs were included for pressing a certain 'trial offer' button. Normally Amazon isn't so confusing to use. Harry Shearer (voice from the Simsons):.
