I haven't remarkably done much with these lights yet, just unpacked one and took a few photos with one bulb. White balance is coming in at very shut 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.

aphoristic CFL replacement lighting
These CFLs give off a discriminating 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 right now. Great value as well.

a matchless 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 disconcerted, only 1.5 inches in diameter, and 3.9 inches high (not including the screw in base). This smaller estimate lamp is ideal for use with light fixtures with a diffuser or lens, where the compartment for the lamps is small.

Lamp color is planned in degrees Kelvin, and these are rated at 2700 degrees K. Color perception varies from person to yourself, 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 counterpart to a 60W incandescent lamp, and unless used in tandem, are probably best suited for general use applications.

These specific lamps are manufactured in China. Rated life is 8000 hours (approximately 333 days), with an initial generate of 825 lumens. Lamp life is based on performance under ideal conditions in a testing lab. Turning a lamp on and off, shortens its existence, and actual lamp life is almost always shorter than the rated life. Even assuming you get as little as 80% of the rated existence, 87 cents per lamp is still a pretty good deal.

crucial price for these bulbs
The rate for these bulbs is comparable, if not better, than just about any home improvement store's prices.

I needed to replace some hot fiery, incandescent bulbs in a light fixture in my dining room.

These burn much cooler and the softer light for a dining room is very junk.

I would not recommend these bulbs for reading with though.

A Must Have for the 21st Century Territory
There is extremely 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 bulk 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 advocate 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 glitter (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 story 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 field-glasses 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 glowing bulbs, to the point where some municipalities and local governments have banned their disposal in household garbage . Domesticated 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.

Yes. Many offices - including mine - have only fluorescent lighting, but also have salutary plants.
And many indoor gardening setups rely on fluorescent.

What company sells the most fluorescent light bulbs?

What visitors sells the most fluorescent light bulbs?

This Green crap makes me sick; I just wanted to know which one of Al Gore's Fresh hedge funds is making the most money?

Philips electronics invented the species of curly cfc bulbs we are now using more than 20 years ago but they didn't sell very well. in 05 Philips started marketing the cfc's as a immature product & spent $270,000 to hire 3 lobbying firms to influence the 06 mid term elections, the democrats got their best part.
in 07 the new energy bill was passed that included a provision to out law incandescent(instant on) bulbs by 2012
philips also did some lobbying & donated to environmental groups in Australia. Australia's parliament outlawed incandesent bulbs in feb. of 07.
although I conjecture their patent has expired,I'm buying philips stock.how about you?

Should old fluorescent light bulbs be removed?

Sep 25, 2008 by Automation Wizard | Posted in Other - Environment

Our workplace, like many others, has several fluorescent light fixtures with burnt out bulbs in them which we do not replace because we do not need the additional brightness in those locations. Are these fixtures using vibrations even though they are producing no light? Should we remove all the bulbs from those fixtures? Please don't guess if you don't actually know for sure.

TVs even use power when there off. So do computers and most other objects. But from what I have be familiar with, when the light bulb burns out, it doesn't use power. I read this on multiple sites and none said anything different.
