Disappointing Energy Saving Bulb

This compact fluorescent bulb was a major letdown. Despite claiming to be energy-saving, it barely even emitted any light at all... It was a complete waste of money and an inconvenience to have to replace it so soon. The only pro was that it was easy to install. However the cons far outweighed this single benefit. Overall, I would not recommend this product to anyone in the market for tools and home improvement lighting solutions..

Pros
  • Energy-saving design reduces electricity costs
Cons
  • Not compatible with all light fixtures

Nice colored light but not too bright

I was hoping this bulb would give a nice colored spotlight effect like a regular R40 bulb but it looks more like a more powerful version http://www .amazon.com/ Sunlite-05680-8000HR-Compact-Fluorescent/dp/B002P5BG0Q/ref=sr_1_51?ie=UTF8&qid=1341341755&sr=8-51&keywords=coloured+cfl+bulb. which is fine if you want that, but note that the bulb provides more ambient light than the spotlight effect. Also, the bulb itself is huge and you may need to use an adapter to fit it into downlights or…

Pros
  • Bulbs
Cons
  • Old model
