Tools and Hardware Reviews of GE 21710 15 Watt (65W equivalent) Energy Smart Floodlight Dimmable R30 Light Bulb
Customer Review: unacceptable delay and warmup time
Summary: 1 Stars
I have reviewed this bulb for a similar listing on Amazon, but my basic points are as follows:
I am a huge fan of CFLs. We use them all over our house. You should, too. There is really no reason to go incandescent anymore. You may actually be better off throwing out your incandescents BEFORE they burn out, and replacing them with CFLs. CFLs work equivalently to incandescents; you just have to know what to look for: low color temperature (on the order of 2700K), a bulb to match the application. Two years ago, after burning multiple incandescents out in our garage door opener, I installed CFLs. They are sturdy enough to withstand the vibrations and have been going strong for a couple of years.
This bulb is unacceptable. It has the drawbacks of CFLs that I bought in the mid-90s: a delay when you switch them on, and a long warmup period (some reviewers say that it is 1 minute; it took my bulb 2-3 minutes. These are the qualities that made it hard for me to convert my wife and my parents to CFLs.
I would recommend trying different brands of dimmables until you find one that is compatible with your dimmers and doesn't have any significant drawbacks. i can't believe that GE let this bulb hit the market with such a switching delay and long warmup time. Reminds me of the disappointment I felt with the early generation CFLs, but I believe that these dimmable bulbs will eventually get the rough spots ironed out.
