Tools and Hardware Reviews of Globe 0784001 40-Watt Compact Fluorescent Reader Bulb (150-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Soft White
Customer Review: Bright, crisp, economic, but not cold.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is exactly what I needed. A bright, economical light bulb that would keep me awake for hours and diminish the eyestrain while I work on my computer all night, but without the cold, hospital-like blueish-white tint of other fluorescent light bulbs.Customer Review: Check the small print
Summary: 4 Stars
These type of bulbs are great, but most of them owe some of their "shelf-life" to the mercury additive which is why you may have to follow disposal/recycling requirements in your community. Unless the bulb breaks, there shouldn't be a concern about the mercury portion of the bulb. I just thought it was a good idea to be fully informed. I saw a CNN story on it, and didn't believe it until I read the packaging - sure enough, its mentioned. I don't know if Globe's bulbs contain mercury or not, but as a consumer, you may want to check this out.Customer Review: Globe 0784001 40-Watt Compact Fluorescent Reader Bulb (150-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Soft White
Summary: 1 Stars
The product labeling in the advertisement is inconsistent with the labeling on the product itself. It is labeled as "Globe 0784001 40-Watt Compact Fluorescent Reader Bulb (150-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Soft White". Instead, the bulb actually says on it that it is a 15 watt bulb, and on the package it says it is a 40 watt replacement. This means that it is equivalent to an incandescent bulb of 40 watts. It is very dim, and absolutely not what I ordered.Customer Review: Good light awkward size and shape
Summary: 3 Stars
The strength and quality of the light is very good but the size and shape of the bulb make it very difficult to find a fixture where it can be used.Customer Review: Good lightbulb. Poor packaging.
Summary: 3 Stars
Two out of ten of these lightbulbs that I ordered were broken in the packaging. Amazon just threw them in a box and put a bunch of those air bags on top. I had to repackage the broken bulbs and send them back. Pathetic. Oh, by the way, The lightbulbs that weren't broken work very nicely. However, I won't buy lightbulbs from Amazon again.
