I haven't surely done much with these lights yet, just unpacked one and took a few photos with one bulb. White balance is coming in at very thick as thieves to 2700K. I wish these had CRI rating, but I can't complain for a sub one dollar product. So far very worth the price. Will continue on later with a bank of these bulbs and see how it preforms then.

solid CFL replacement lighting
These CFLs give off a rigorous warm, golden light. I have them in several places around the house including the bathroom and find them a better alternative than LED lighting at endowment. Great value as well.
a prodigious deal at this price . . .
Prices at Amazon often swings, but $6.99 for an eight pack of CFL's (compact fluorescent lamps), is a very good price, especially if you get free shipping. These 13W lamps are very young, only 1.5 inches in diameter, and 3.9 inches high (not including the screw in base). This smaller rate lamp is ideal for use with light fixtures with a diffuser or lens, where the compartment for the lamps is small.
Lamp color is even in degrees Kelvin, and these are rated at 2700 degrees K. Color perception varies from person to themselves, but these lamps are on the "warm" side, closer to incandescent light, and nicely suited for home use. The light output from a 13W CFL, is roughly close to a 60W incandescent lamp, and unless used in tandem, are probably best suited for general use applications.
These separate lamps are manufactured in China. Rated life is 8000 hours (approximately 333 days), with an prime output of 825 lumens. Lamp life is based on performance under ideal conditions in a testing lab. Turning a lamp on and off, shortens its viability, and actual lamp life is almost always shorter than the rated life. Even assuming you get as little as 80% of the rated lifetime, 87 cents per lamp is still a pretty good deal.

consequential price for these bulbs
The cost out for these bulbs is comparable, if not better, than just about any home improvement store's prices.
I needed to replace some hot violent, incandescent bulbs in a light fixture in my dining room.
These burn much cooler and the softer light for a dining room is very capable.
I would not recommend these bulbs for reading with though.

A Must Have for the 21st Century At ease
There is remarkably no other place to pick up an 8 pack of these for this price. They come from a name brand company and they are more beneficial for everyone. It not only lasts longer than incandescents but also costs less to light. The evaluate of them may be an issue for some if you are placing these in tight places, since they do stick out maybe a mm or two more than its incandescent equivalent. I would definitely favour picking these up and replacing all those money spending incandescents anyone has around their house.

New Light Bulb Offers Breakage Protection ConCrave (blog)
19.01.10
In December 2007, Congress—in all of its sagacity (no pun intended)—decided to ban incandescent light bulbs. Starting with an initial phase-out in 2012, with a complete cull completed by 2014, Thomas Edison's wondrous contriving will be no more. Well, with the exception what you can find on the black market .
Out with the old, in with the new, I suppose.
You may have noticed the recent invasion by the horrendously ugly twists of plate glass and plastic known as Compact Flourescent Lamps (CFL). These are the government-mandated replacements of our valued incandescent bulbs.
Unfortunately for our health and our environment, CFL bulbs contain vastly higher amounts of mercury than impotent to bulbs, to the point where some municipalities and local governments have banned their disposal in household garbage . Docile CFL bulbs can exposure those who come in contact with it to toxic levels of mercury, which is a serious problem in households with children and pets.

Comparing Light Bulb Costs - energy saving bulbs versus normal?
Jan 31, 2007 by KiKi0867 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
How much does it bring in to run a normal 100W light bulb? Per hour and the whole life of the bulb (please specify the life span you are using).
How much does it charge to run a 25W (equivalent to 100W of a normal bulb) energy saving light bulb? Per hour and the whole life of the bulb (please specify the person span you are using).
Please use the rate of 9.8 cents/Kw-hour.
If you have any other ways to compare these two bulbs in terms of dough, please do share.
kw-hour is kilo-watt each hour
100 watt will use .98 or 98% of a penny or $00.098 each hour
25 watt will use .25 or 25% of a penny or $00.025 each hour
no bulb lasts as dream of as the life is, so comparison is a guess
say each bulb lasts 6000 hours one costs 40 cents, the other costs $2.50
100 watts = .098 x 6000 = $58.8 25watts = .025 x 6000 = $15.0

The easiest way to do this is to substantiate the boxes for average longevity and comparative cost. They are usually both listed.
If you must do the calculations, use the average spirit in hours divided by 1,000 multiplied by the stated wattage times $.098

Why do all the energy saving light bulbs (fluorescent?) say not to use them with electric timers?
Jan 18, 2007 by syuol | Posted in Other - Home & Garden
It seems like all the energy saving bulbs say on the carton never to use with electric timers and I can't figure why. My sister has used them with timers and it appears they burned out rather fast. Whats the difference between having a timer turn the light on at a certain time and just flipping the scourge?
Never heard of that with a timer. Timers are utilized commericially for fluorescents. I know that you are not supposed to use a dimmer with fluorescent lamps, unless the fixture has a dimming ballast.

Have you switched the light bulbs in your house or apartment to Energy Saving bulbs yet?
Apr 25, 2007 by Dreams | Posted in Alternative Fuel Vehicles
I well-deserved bought an Energy Saving bulb that uses 15 watts of electricity but produces the same amount of light as a 60 watt bulb. It is supposititious to last 5-6 years too. Over the life of the new bulb I am supposed to save approximately $35 on my electric bill. I will not lie, the Energy Saving bulb was up-market--about $7--but I think it was a wise investment.
Are you going to switch to Energy Saving light bulbs now that you know how much you can save? Don't cease to remember, you will be cutting down on carbon emissions considerably.
I've switched some of them. They don't effort as well for decorative lighting; the warm glow produced by incandescent bulbs can't be reproduced with flourescents.
Too, you lack to dispose of the fluorescent bulbs in an environmentally safe manner. These lamps contain small amounts of mercury, as well as more components in the base than is contained in an incandescent bulb. They should not be simply thrown into the trash.
You should also make sure that you are using newer ones. Some of the old ones had the imminent to cause fires.
