Customer ReviewsNOT long lasting!
Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :1
I was so excited to find these mini lights that fit our kitchen recessed fixtures. I ordered them in May, and less than 3 months later, every single one has burned out. WAY too short a life, and WAY too expensive. A good idea if only theyd be longer lasting.
Read this to know the best energy efficient light bulb to get
Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :1
Ive searched for the best bulb, tried maybe 5 different brands and the best ones to get are from "N:vision". They turn on right away even though it doesnt say that on the packaging and the light is a soft glow. The ones that say that they turn on right away have a sterile glow to them, and most others (e.g. Globe) have about a 2 second delay for turning on after you flip the switch.
Hope this helps,

In Arizona, local retailers sell these bulbs for under a buck.... check for local incentives from your energy company!
A mixed bag of results
Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :0
We have had mixed results using CFLs. We primarily use them in a recessed kitchen lighting fixture. Most of the CFLs weve tried did not come anywhere close to meeting the long life expectancy quoted by the manufacture. A few months ago we purchased the equivelent a 200 watt CFL that used 40 watts at lowes for around ... The bulbs life expectency was quoted as 5 years. After about 1 month, the light output had dimmed to the equivelent of about a 60 Watt bulb. At 2 months the bulb died completely. We returned the burned out bulb to lowes and received a refund with no hassle. Consumers Reports did a study on this and found that how long a bulb lasts is related to the manufacturer of the bulb. Some bulbs fail VERY early. Others actually meet the stated life expectency numbers. The study noted GE and a few others as having good life expectency results. More recently, we purchased a 200 watt equivelent CFL bulb that uses 42 Watts from a ONLINE company called PowerCFL.com. That one has been working for over 3 months now (quoted life expectency is 5 years) and continues to put out 200 watts of light as when it was new. So the jury is out on that bulb. One thing to note is that the long time quoted by a bulbs manufacturer is for a limited numbers of hours use per day. In the case of these bulbs from PowerCFL.com they are rated for a 5 year life at 3 hours use per day. However, our kitchen is dark and my guess is that our kitchen light is ON closer to 8 hours per day. Thus, if we get 2 years use out of the bulb Ill consider it to have lived up to its stated life expectency. However, getting 200 watts of light from a bulb that you only pay for 42 watts, running it 8 hours a day for 2 years amounts to a sizeable saving.

Delivery was fast. The 13-watt is a little dim, but will get the 23-watt the next time.
