Review on πŸ’‘ Bulbrite CF15C/WW/DM 15 Watt 120 Volt Energy Efficient Dimmable Compact Fluorescent T3 Coil Bulb, Warm White by Chris Edwards

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bright, dimmable but not immediately

This lamp produces a pleasant and bright light. This is really a replacement for a lower wattage 100w incandescent bulb. It responds well to my regular dimmer. Of course, most dimmable CFLs don't fade below 20% and this one is no exception. The only disappointment is that it's not "instant on". Delay about half a second after turning on the switch. But it quickly becomes full light once it's on. I have yet to see how long this will last. I bought a "MaxLite MLS25EADWW 25W DimMax Dimmable Compact Fluorescent" for comparison. MaxLite was 15% more expensive, but it's "instant". If the instant-on feature is important to you, consider an alternative.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
