Tools and Hardware Reviews of Globe 48526 23-Watt Mini Compact Fluorescent Spiral Bulb (100-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Soft White, 4 Pack
Customer Review: No good for the environment
Summary: 2 Stars
I would rather take the extra energy use than deal with the poisonous mercury in these bulbs. Most will be thrown away and make their way to our landfills where they will leak mercury into the ground. If enough of them end up there they could leak this mercury into underground water sources. Lets come up with another alternative to conventional bulbs.Customer Review: Not exactly mini compact
Summary: 4 Stars
Its larger than a regular lightbulb, so I wouldn't call it mini compact. Brighter than a comparable 100 watt bulb, but gives off a very slight yellow color.Customer Review: OK. You get what you pay for
Summary: 3 Stars
These did not last me that long and are not as bright as the other brands available. I have several brands that have outlasted these by years.
The other types you may want to look at are LED lights. They consume even less, but may not be sutable for all lighting.
Customer Review: Same Brightness
Summary: 5 Stars
Globe fluorescent spiral bulbs yield the same brightness as ordinary 100 watt bulbs. The light from these energy saving bulbs is nice and bright, and I like the fact that they last a lot longer than ordinary bulbs.Customer Review: Satisfied Despite Some Broken Bulbs
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered two 4-packs of these bulbs to replace a couple of 40 watt bulbs and a 60 watt bulb. By that comparison, the new light is HUGE and I am very satisfied with it. I don't know how well these would would work for actually replacing 100 watt bulbs. I was a bit disappointed that only six of the eight bulbs arrived in working condition.
