Tools and Hardware Reviews of GE 21716 26 Watt (90 Watt equivalent) Energy Smart Floodlight Dimmable R40 Light Bulb 6 Count
Customer Review: Many Defects, Mediocre Performance
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been using dimmable CFL reflector bulbs since they first became available and have always found them to be problematic. I was hoping that these GE brand bulbs would perform better than the others that I have used but unfortunately they have not. 5 of the 6 bulbs that I purchased were defective. 3 of them had obvious manufacturing defects in that the metal base threading was deformed and they would not screw into the socket. 2 of them burned out within a few days of use. Fortunately Amazon.com is very good with returns/replacements. But, if this is any indication of overall quality and reliability, I'm not too optimistic that these bulbs will last 4 years as advertised.
Even when they are working, these bulbs are troublesome. As with most CFL's they take about a minute to reach full brightness. At full brightness they work just fine. But, dimming them is problematic. They may work better or worse depending upon the type of dimmer switch you are using. In any case, the dimming range is much less than incandescent bulbs. If you try to dim them past a certain point they will flicker or turn off completely. Also, if multiple bulbs are used on the same dimmer switch, the bulbs do not all dim consistently--some are brighter than others.
