 Don't last as advertised December 26, 2008
I have had 12 of these bulbs installed in various locations in my house for less than 8 months and 3 have already failed. The packaging claims they will last 9 years average......not even close! Also,although not a big issue, is that they take a minute or so to "warm up" and get to full brightness...even longer in a cold location such as a porch or pole barn. Then of course there is the disposal issue, I have returned mine to Sylvania but I wonder how many people will simply throw them in the trash.
 Dissapointed with Sylvania Quality control November 22, 2008
I bought a 2-pack of Sylvania Candelabra base CF at Lowes. One bulb was bad. I took them back and bought two 2-packs. From these 4 bulbs, one of them was bad. I then bought a 3-pack of Standard base Sylvania CF bulbs at Home Depot. One of these three bulbs was bad.
I was reluctant to purchase the no-name brands but it is apparent that the Sylvania brand is a piece of crap. Another gotch is that if you buy a multi-pak and one is bad you have to return all the bulbs. 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.
 Loving these bulbs!! October 29, 2008
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. 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. Getting these new bulbs also got me around to FINALLY cleaning the lamp shades and globes:-)!
Lasts long saves energy October 28, 2008
I purchased 12 pack from amazon when these were on sale for $17.00.. seems to last for ever.. most of my house have these now.. I noticed these have life better than the ones I purchased from costco.. price wise, its almost the same as costco or little cheaper as I dont pay taxes. s/h is free thanks to prime s/h (Thanks amazon!)
it takes few seconds for these to light up.. but thats ok with me. Most places I have 3-4 bulbs in the fixture I changed all of them to the fluorescent bulb. If you dont like the fact it takes few seconds, put a regular bulb and rest fluorescent.
Buy these save planet!
nice bulbs September 5, 2008
The bulbs may take a few seconds to reach the maximum light, but it works well and of course, save your energy bill.
