Review on ๐ŸŒป Sunlite SL24/Y 24W Spiral CFL Light Bulb, Yellow Bug Light, Medium Base (100W Incandescent Equivalent) by Matt Bell

Don't waste your money

Clean trash. Don't waste money. I bought (5) of these. Installed (4) at the moment. Only (1) works satisfactorily from afar, and that fades a bit too. Of the first three I installed, (1) failed within 4 days and tarnished to the point of being unusable. I replaced it with another one and this is the one that worked for a few months but is slowly fading now. I also installed two more elsewhere. These two still work, but they've also lost a lot of brightness over the past few months and honestly weren't that bright to begin with. Also, the yellow these bulbs give off is a very unattractive, washed-out bright yellow, but they really don't give off shed a lot of light, even when they're new and won't last long. The 13w CFL bulbs I've used elsewhere in some of the same lights actually give better light with a darker yellow that also seems to attract fewer bugs. I will remove the built-in lamps and send them back. Be brighter than these lightbulbs! Don't buy them!

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
