Tools and Hardware Reviews of GE 47478-3 15-Watt (65-Watt equivalent) Energy Smart Floodlight 6 Year Life R30 Light Bulb 3-Pack
Customer Review: Bulb is just OK
Summary: 2 Stars
Just bought this bulb at Target to replace a kitchen recessed light bulb - 65 Watt. The light output is no different than the old bulb. The drawback is the slow startup, about 30 seconds. Do not use this bulb if it is the only light source in a room. In my mind, stumbling in the dark is not progress. A light should come on when you flip the switch.Customer Review: GE Energy Smart Floodlight bulbs
Summary: 4 Stars
The bulbs emit light at least as bright as our old incandescents for far less wattage and heat. Our only adjustment is they come on dim and need a minute or so to brighten up. Leaving one strategically placed incandescent bulb per room to come on immediately helps that problem.
One bulb arrived broken, and replacement was quick and highly satisfactory.
Customer Review: Great product but...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great product provided you can live with the fact that it takes maybe 30 seconds for the bulb to get to full brightness which is common with this type of bulb. Also, the bulbs seem a lot brighter than the 65 watt equivalent advertised which can be either good or bad depending on what you're using the bulbs for. These bulbs do not buzz or flicker like the similar ones I bought years ago.Customer Review: Rex Allesandro

2 of the bulbs i received were broken. Amazon says they dont stock them but will refund my money for the broken ones. What a waste of time on my part.Customer Review: Takes too long to reach full brightness
Summary: 3 Stars
I've pretty much replaced all the incandescent light bulbs in my house with CFL's, so I bought a few of these to replace the floods in my basement and bathroom. As others have pointed out, this bulb starts out very dim, and takes about a minute to warm up. In some areas of my house, I find this unacceptable, and had to go back to the standard flood bulbs. I also had one go bad in a few months. Hopefully the technology will improve, as it has with most CFL's.
