Customer Review: "green is good"-with a cautionary note or two, that is...
Summary: 4 Stars
Sylvania makes these 13-watt (120-Volt) Compact Fluorescent light bulbs; and they do work pretty well! I changed over as many light fixtures as I could a few days ago; and I'm saving money on my electric bill as well as enjoying the fact that these light bulbs last much, much longer than conventional "incandescent" light bulbs.
One thing is very positive: for most lighting fixtures, you will not have to worry about the compact fluorescent light bulb fitting into the electrical bulb socket. They fit in very easily; I even compared the two metallic ends in the store to make sure they really were the same width and length! This truly manages to omit just as much light as a conventional 60 watt light bulb while only using 13 watts of energy. I'm no physicist; but the math looks good to me!
These light bulbs come in packs (you may be able to buy them individually) and just make sure that you hold onto your receipt before you install them. Every so often a bulb just won't light up all the way; I got a few that didn't light up for the very furthest "spiral" part of the bulb away from the socket. Amazon or any company will almost certainly take it back if you keep your receipt.
There is one change, however, that I will have to get used to: these bulks don't exactly function the same way incandescent bulbs do. First, when you turn on the light, the bulb will flicker for about 15 seconds before turning on all the way. Actually, this isn't too bad. The second "feature" does bother me, at least for now--the light from the bulb isn't quite the same intensity that you would get from an incandescent bulb. The light is slightly less intense; and it also might be just slightly on the yellowish side. This may be because I have frosted ceiling light fixtures in my kitchen; I am not sure. I didn't notice it so much in the hallway of my home where the new bulbs were also installed; so maybe the yellowish "color" of the light was because of the fixtures in which I used these bulbs.
Overall, these bulbs DO save money and they fit most lighting fixtures. Do NOT choose these if you have a "dimmer" feature on your lighting fixture; they make special fluorescent bulbs just for that type of lighting fixture. I predict that you will definitely save money on your electric bill; and I really like that these bulbs last for years at a time. That's incredible; most of not all incandescent bulbs would have to be replaced much, much sooner than these bulbs will need to be replaced. I recommend this light bulbs for people like me who want to go as "green" as possible.
