Customer Review: A mixed bag of results
Summary: 3 Stars
We have had mixed results using CFLs. We primarily use them in a recessed kitchen lighting fixture. Most of the CFLs we've tried did not come anywhere close to meeting the long life expectancy quoted by the manufacture. A few months ago we purchased the equivelent a 200 watt CFL that used 40 watts at lowes for around [...] The bulbs life expectency was quoted as 5 years. After about 1 month, the light output had dimmed to the equivelent of about a 60 Watt bulb. At 2 months the bulb died completely. We returned the burned out bulb to lowes and received a refund with no hassle. Consumers Reports did a study on this and found that how long a bulb lasts is related to the manufacturer of the bulb. Some bulbs fail VERY early. Others actually meet the stated life expectency numbers. The study noted GE and a few others as having good life expectency results. More recently, we purchased a 200 watt equivelent CFL bulb that uses 42 Watts from a ONLINE company called PowerCFL.com. That one has been working for over 3 months now (quoted life expectency is 5 years) and continues to put out 200 watts of light as when it was new. So the jury is out on that bulb. One thing to note is that the long time quoted by a bulbs manufacturer is for a limited numbers of hours use per day. In the case of these bulbs from PowerCFL.com they are rated for a 5 year life at 3 hours use per day. However, our kitchen is dark and my guess is that our kitchen light is ON closer to 8 hours per day. Thus, if we get 2 years use out of the bulb I'll consider it to have lived up to it's stated life expectency. However, getting 200 watts of light from a bulb that you only pay for 42 watts, running it 8 hours a day for 2 years amounts to a sizeable saving.
