Customer Review: I think these are a reasonable deal...
Summary: 4 Stars
I have found better prices, [...]. I have installed them throughout our house and note the following:
Noticeable reduction in power bill.
Perfectly reasonable light, especially in shaded lights.
Best for areas where lights are on for more than 30'.
Not good for closets or similar "off-on" situations.
Last for a long time.
Can't be used with dimmers.
Take a few bulbs to local recycler about twice a year.
Customer Review: I've made the conversion.
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazon offered us a great insentive to go green. I have replaced all my lightbulbs with these. After you get used to the few second delay when you turn these on then you will be very happy with the more true light they give off.
You will also love the fact that your electric bill will go down.
They come packed very well with each bulb in its own sturdy little box in a larger box and then in a big box with airbags. Arrives in perfect condition.
Customer Review: Lasts long saves energy

I purchased 12 pack from amazon when these were on sale for $17.00.. seems to last for ever.. most of my house have these now.. I noticed these have life better than the ones I purchased from costco.. price wise, its almost the same as costco or little cheaper as I dont pay taxes. s/h is free thanks to prime s/h (Thanks amazon!)
it takes few seconds for these to light up.. but thats ok with me. Most places I have 3-4 bulbs in the fixture I changed all of them to the fluorescent bulb. If you dont like the fact it takes few seconds, put a regular bulb and rest fluorescent.
Buy these save planet!
Customer Review: Look Closely at Comparable Wattage
Summary: 2 Stars
I grew up in the "house of dark." My parents were immigrants who also suffered through the depression so electricity and phone bills (luxuries!)were closely watched. In response I have always desired a very bright environment. I have 7 lamps and track lighting in a 12x18 living room + eating el. Maybe I didn't read closely but I somehow thought these bulbs were equivalent to 100 watts which is my absolute lowest. The basic message is that if you want to go green but maintain a high level of artifical light closely read the comparable wattage. My son and DIL have inherited "light deprivation decorating" so they will be the recipients of this order.Customer Review: Loving these bulbs!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I find these bulbs to be very bright and a great value, they do appear to me to be a bit on the yellow side though. They are a bit slow to start, that is to get to full brightness. It takes about 1 to 2 seconds for them to initially light, and another 30 seconds or so to be fully lit. Getting these new bulbs also got me around to FINALLY cleaning the lamp shades and globes:-)!
