Tools and Hardware Reviews of Globe 0784001 40-Watt Compact Fluorescent Reader Bulb (150-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Soft White
Customer Review: Shorter than expected lifespan, a bit pricey
Summary: 3 Stars
My home office happens to be in the basement, meaning that lights are on in the basement 8-12 hours every day. I was so happy, last year, when I purchased a few of the 40-Watt (that shine like a 150-Watt) bulbs because they really brightened my life without making me feel too guilty about wasting resources.
Sadly, and surprisingly, these bulbs did not last. Of the 4 bulbs I bought a little more than a year ago, during a good sale event, 3 have died already. The packaging on these fluorescent bulbs usually mentions 'longer life' an advantage. It's not the case with these. Due to their high price and their short lifespan I am using the 23-Watt (100 Watt-like) equivalent flourescents that can be had for a fraction of the price (come in six-packs) and even seem to last longer. I do wish that the 150-Watt-like bulbs were of a higher quality or were sold for a more reasonable price because I could certainly use them.
I have no choice but to take away 2 stars for their surprisingly short lifespan (bad workmanship?) and for the unreasonably high price. My recommendation: until both price and quality improve, you're better off with the 23-Watt (that are 100-Watt-like) six-packs.
