Review on Sylvania 20882 26W Compact Fluorescent: Efficient Lighting Solution by Carri Taylor

I was skeptical about purchasing these lamps based on the "received damaged" reviews but thought it might be possible as I was desperate for lamps for my home. Ordered 2 packs of 10, all lights arrived intact and in perfect condition. Perhaps some of the reviewers here were just unlucky with getting broken lights, perhaps because the carrier's packages were mishandled. Yes, these lights generally need to "warm up" to reach full brightness, but I believe that's just the nature of PLT-4PIN lights. . Which honestly takes around 30-40 seconds which is definitely not a deal breaker. The light is definitely bright white at full brightness. In general, the purchase is satisfied.
