These bulbs are slowly being added as old ones burn out. We have replaced a bit more than half of our bulbs and none of these have burned out yet. So far so good!

I got this CFL free at my college's Green Festival. It works great, is so economical, and using it greatly decreases my carbon footprint. The benefits of this one lightbulb are astounding; it should be illegal or at least very difficult to sell and buy older incandescent lightbulbs that burn out easily and are so bad for the environment. Great product, TOTALLY recommend!

Well worth the effort based on energy savings. Slight delay in achieving full brightness is worth it for efficiencies. I have been using these bulbs for the past several months only, so I cannot yet comment on the expected life of 10,000 hours. If the claim is valid ..... then yippee !

Don't remember the date and price for this item, but have used this bulb in a few locations within our home - family room, bedrooms. Most people don't even realize its a CFL, it's color is good and no hum at all.

I got one last year at Home Depot when they were doing a green promotion. I believe it was free (1 per customer).

The bulb produces a sharp light (not soft like incandescent). Probably because it's flickering at a high frequency (I've always been bothered by the flickering). I'm using it in a 3 way lamp in my room, and it only turns on for 2 of the 3 settings. Probably not the right bulb for the lamp, but it works.

Comes on instantly, like my 13W from the same company. Several other bulbs (see http://www.dabblings.net/gpage4.html) are delayed - we ARE in the 21st century, right? If a little company like this can actually make an instant on bulb, you'd think GE would be able to do the same.

I have been really pleased with specific brand. The costs in energy saving alone has paid itself back. I noticed a difference in the power bill right away.

For me, the biggest plus is the good color temperature. Soft and pleasant. A very important factor.
