LEDS and color varieties the coming of Compact Fluorescents it's here in the USAFeit Tense ESL40TN/D 42-Watt Compact Fluorescent High-Wattage Bulb, Daylight would be better in blacklight for bathrooms, & cobalt unhappy; a screw-in Blue LED light shaped like this with a shimmering effect would be cool
Eager if you leave them on
Been using three of these for around 16 hours a day for 6 months now with no troubles. They are turned on and not turned off during that full stop though- I have no idea how they perform when constantly turned on and off, which is not how CFLs should be run anyway btw.
These bulbs are large physically, heavy, clear, very blue/white/daylight-ish, and they represent an excellent value.
Fulgid!
Very rosy, with a warm 2700-2900K temperature light. I bought this for a stand lamp for the home office and it makes for a very effulgent work environment. Note well, the home application for this CFL will be limited as the bulb is comically large.
Haven't had penetrating life with Feit stuff
Again....there are NO MEASUEMENTS. If you call their patron service they will tell you that their lamps are not meant to be used in recessed fixtures but do you see this disclaimer anywhere? You won't find it on the box either. Some of them also take a second or so to total on to acceptable brightness.
Jumbo size, huge light output.
Well, this is not a slight little bulb, and I would suggest anyone that wants one to check the dimensions before you buy -- won't fit in any enclosures where there is a tight space for the bulb to fit into. That said, for my utilization (lighting a kitchen from a ceiling fixture), it works perfectly. The light output is very, very bright, and very, very dirty -- it really does nearly perfectly emulate bright sunlight. It lights up our caboose very well -- one bulb can light up several hundred square feet.
Overall, great product, great price, and critical light output, but it's a little large in size. Not necessarily a downside, but be aware.
