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: Warm-up time is excessive
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these bulbs to replace the regular 65 watt floodlights in my new recessed kitchen lights. I have been using the curly CFL bulbs for years and have enjoyed the quick start up of those bulbs. For some reason these floodlight bulbs take what seems an excessive amount of time to come to full brightness - probably 30 to 45 seconds. This I found unacceptable. I returned the bulbs to Amazon and will go back to using the old curly bulbs until I find a CFL flood light that starts up instantly.
I need to add that this is the first thing I have returned to Amazon and I am pleased at how easy it was using the prepaid mailing labels.
Customer Review: works OK
Summary: 4 Stars
This bulb is not perfect. It does have a fairly slow warm up time, as noted in the sales specs, but since my intended use is for lights that I expect to have on all day and most of the evening through out the winter, I am not much bothered by the slow-on. The bulb is slightly taller than the 75w and 65w indoor floods that I have been using in my recessed "can" lights, and thus sticks out beyond the rim a little bit. If you want your ceiling to be completely flat and unmarred by little bulb-bulges, then try another one. For my purposes, I figure it just lets that much more light out to where I want it in these darkish winter days. Now, if it lasts as long as they say it does, so I have to get up on the ladder less often, and costs as little as they say it does, so I can shrink the electric bill, I think I have a winner.Customer Review: worth the price.
Summary: 4 Stars
Good product, seems to work well. They take a while to light up but it seems like all of the CFL's do.
