Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sylvania 25986 9-Watt Compact Fluorescent B10 Light, 2 Pack
Customer Review: Big bulb, but great
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these CFL bulbs from another store online, and I do love them! I bought them to go into a ceiling fan fixture that I bought back in July of 2009, and because I wanted to save electric on this light fixture because it's in the kitchen where it's used a lot. The bulbs are rather big and bulky, which caused me issue in initially trying to use them in the ceiling fan fixture that I bought because the ceiling fan has a frosted dome underneath the bulbs, and the bulbs did not fit. Thanks to a reviewer who bought the same fan that I did, I found some tips on how to get different light supports & other parts on the light fixture and bend the light supports up a little, which allowed me to make the bulbs fit with the dome. These bulbs are equivalent to the light output of a 40 watt bulb, yet only use 9 watts. In fact, it's even brighter than the regular 40 watt candelabra style bulbs that came with my ceiling fan. I am also using a couple of these bulbs in my dining room chandelier. However, I must say these bulbs are not attractive looking. But I got around this issue for my dining room chandelier by buying those small shades for chandeliers, and putting those on top to cover them up. I have been using these bulbs since July 2009 for about 3 hours a day in my kitchen ceiling fan, and they are still going strong as of the date of this review (March 26, 2011). I have not had any issues that other reviewers mentioned.
In summary, the brightness of these bulbs is great! And it feels good knowing that I'm saving energy by only using 9 watts of energy per bulb, yet still getting the lighting quality of a 40 watt bulb! The downside is the bulkiness and unattractive look, which is why I only gave them a rating of 4 stars instead of 5. If they ever make them smaller and nicer looking, I would give them a 5 star rating.
