We have replaces a few of the bulbs in our house to these GE Energy smart. They work well, nice clean light and they last forever. The only problem is that the spiral design is too wide and tall for the old-school lampshades that our lamps have.

I enjoy these light bulbs but they take some getting use to.  I have replaced all most all of my bulbs.  I hope that they will come up with other sizes sometime soon.

My roommates tend to leave a lot of lights on around the house so I figured I'd give these a try to save some on the power bill, and the fact that they're more environmentally friendly certainly helps. I may have to try a higher wattage rating in some rooms, but overall I'm extremely satisfied! By the way, the price listed was for a six pack of bulbs.

I bought these lightbulbs back in 2005. I still have all of them, except for one I dropped. (Whoops.) They even survived a move to a new house. I love them. After hearing some of the mercury information it makes me slightly nervous, but I only have them in my overhead lights now, so they aren't likely to break. (The one I broke was in a lamp. I no longer use the lamp) They do have a weird dim light when you first turn them on, but a few seconds later they are nice and bright. It takes a bit of getting used to when you first switch over.

I love this product and buy them in bulk for storage just in case a light bulb goes out. But what I love about this CFL is that is lasts a long, long time, I haven't changed one yet. They are also energy efficient and emit more light than I was expecting!
