- Pathetic lifespan
I bought this item a year ago and have used the bulbs in some bathroom fixtures since then.So far, 4 out of 12 have failed.That is just unacceptable.The packaging claims a 10,000 hour life span, but these never made it to 800.The fixtures are quite open and well ventilated, so I figured this would be a good application for CFLs.Of course, there is a guarantee.Just package them up with the receipt and send them to the manufacturer AT YOUR EXPENSE.Never mind the fact that you will pay ...

Rating: - Saving what exactly?
These "swell" Al Gore CFL bulbs are a questionable purchase, whether they will be mandated in the future or not. What is the payoff time that one would have to use these things to realize a savings over the tried and true regular old incandescent bulb? Also, is the premium price paid for these bulbs going somewhere to mitigate their environmental hazard when they are disposed of? They do contain evil old Mercury ya know.
Also, who is setting up a healthcare program for the little fellahs in ... Read More
Rating: - Don't last as advertised
I have had 12 of these bulbs installed in various locations in my house for less than 8 months and 3 have already failed. The packaging claims they will last 9 years average......not even close! Also,although not a big issue, is that they take a minute or so to "warm up" and get to full brightness...even longer in a cold location such as a porch or pole barn. Then of course there is the disposal issue, I have returned mine to Sylvania but I wonder how many people will simply throw them in the trash.

- Dissapointed with Sylvania Quality control
I bought a 2-pack of Sylvania Candelabra base CF at Lowes. One bulb was bad. I took them back and bought two 2-packs. From these 4 bulbs, one of them was bad. I then bought a 3-pack of Standard base Sylvania CF bulbs at Home Depot. One of these three bulbs was bad.
I was reluctant to purchase the no-name brands but it is apparent that the Sylvania brand is a piece of crap. Another gotch is that if you buy a multi-pak and one is bad you have to return all the bulbs. If you buy them in single ... Read More

- Loving these bulbs!!
I find these bulbs to be very bright and a great value, they do appear to me to be a bit on the yellow side though.They are a bit slow to start, that is to get to full brightness.It takes about 1 to 2 seconds for them to initially light, and another 30 seconds or so to be fully lit.Getting these new bulbs also got me around to FINALLY cleaning the lamp shades and globes:-)!
