Tools and Hardware Reviews of Globe 48526 23-Watt Mini Compact Fluorescent Spiral Bulb (100-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Soft White, 4 Pack
Customer Review: Two bulbs broken in shipment
Summary: 1 Stars
Amazon made good on the breakage. The bulbs arrived smashed because the vendor removed two bulbs from a six pack to make this four pack.
If I knew the problem had been resolved with the vendor and would not reoccur I would buy another 4 pack right now. The bulbs throw off nice light. Because I do not care possibly to file a complaint again and receive a charge back on my credit card I'll either wait until it becomes clear these bulbs are arriving intact for others or pick them up at a store.
Customer Review: Want to save money off that bill??
Summary: 5 Stars
then buy these bulbs.. if some are brokin blame the shipping co not the seller..Customer Review: Work Quite Well
Summary: 5 Stars
These bulbs basically work as expected. The light is pretty warm and near indistinguishable from that of an incandescent bulb. Like all compact fluorescents, these take a few seconds to "warm up" to maximum brightness, but they turn on instantly. Besides the substantial energy savings and longer lifespan, these bulbs produce much less ambient heat than incandescents, meaning they aren't fighting my air conditioner if I'm trying to cool my apartment, and the metal shade of my bedside lamp stays cool to the touch.Customer Review: Work but aren't ideal
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered these bulbs because I wanted to replace the bulbs in my overhead lights fixtures (which take little bulbs with regular-sized bases). The first thing I noticed is that despite being "mini" these bulbs are actually pretty large -- at least twice, if not three times, the size of chandelier bulbs. Unlike the other compact fluorescent light bulbs I own (I think I have the Sylvania brand), these ones emit a faint hum and take a second to turn on. They are also not as bright as the other "100 Watt equivalent" bulbs I own, which also take 23W.
On the positive side, they DO work (I don't know about the comparable lifespan), and they're cheaper than the Sylvania brand (I pay $5 each at the grocery store).
Customer Review: Worked well, but not very long -- less than a year
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered a pack of these -- they're okay. They worked, I had no problems at all with their brightness, but they didn't even last a year, and that's with far from 24-7 usage.
