Review on SLEEKLIGHTING Approved 120V Ballasted Fluorescent Equivalent by Kirk Arroyave

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Slim profile. for incandescent bulbs

So the word "smooth" in the title seems to indicate a narrower design. In my case, that's good. The old bulbs in the existing fixture touched the back wall. Now I have a space of about 3/16 inch. I like 4200k color. It's nice and bright without being overdone or caught in harsh highlights. No noise and immediately. It would be nice if they lasted longer than the Sylvania bulbs I used to buy from Home Depot. I'll try to remember to update you on that in about a year and a half. 20191106 - These CFL bulbs last about as long as any other CFL I've used. I bought 4 lamps for use on June 28, 2018. in my 2 bathroom lights above the sink and soon after put in 2 new bulbs. I had to replace one of the bulbs about 4 months ago and the other last week (about 18 months after installation). The good news is that old lightbulbs don't change color or fade with age. That means when I put a new lightbulb in one of the sconces, it looked exactly like the lightbulb in the other sconce. Other types of bulbs I have used in the past had to be replaced in both sconces at the same time as the new bulbs were whiter and brighter than the bulbs they had. e for some time.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
