Tools and Hardware Reviews of Globe 0790401 12/20/26-Watt 3-Way Compact Fluorescent Spiral Bulb (50/75/100-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Soft WhiteCustomer Review: They listened but still only two ways on a 3 way bulb. Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased 2 of these at Lowes yesterday (February 12, 2011. Apparently the company read the many complaints about the 150 watt setting being no brighter than the lower setting. On both these bulbs, the highest setting is actually pretty bright. Unfortunately, they now can't get the middle, 100 watt setting right. It is actually less bright than the starting 50 watt setting. On both bulbs, there was a slight hesitation before the bulb started on the lowest setting. When clicking to go to the next 100 watt setting, it initially, for about a half second, came on brighter then immediately dropped back to what seemed like the lowest setting. Both bulbs did exactly the same thing in two different lamps. Unacceptable when they claim it is a true 3 way bulb. The package advertises soft white and perhaps it is compared to their plain bright series which I haven't tried. It is definitely not soft by comparison to regular incandescent bulbs but I found it acceptable. It is not nearly as bad as halogen or daytime bulbs which, for me, casts an aesthetically horrible bright hospital like light. All in all, it is not yet an acceptable 3 way bulb.
