Tools and Hardware Reviews of Globe 48526 23-Watt Mini Compact Fluorescent Spiral Bulb (100-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Soft White, 4 Pack
Customer Review: Shipped loose in the box!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Amazon shipped these to me loose in a box with just an air pillow. The first set were completely smashed and the second arrived ok. Don't buy these! It is not worth the hassle to deal with - THESE BULBS ARE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS WHEN BROKEN!!! The 13watt ones arrived just fine in their original packaging.
I don't know if the loose bulbs are even eligible for a warranty.
Customer Review: Nice but a bit of adjustment
Summary: 4 Stars
I would say they are closer to a 75 watt Equivalent;
It is a much colder feeling light;
It takes about 1 second to turn on and about 20-30 to reach full brightness. (hard to get used to)
All that said, I will definitely continue buying them because the benefits far outweigh the downsides, and I will probably be used to the changes after a little while.
Customer Review: Shipping is a problem
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product, but shipping is a problem. First set of 4 arrived with one bad bulb. Replacement set arrived with another bad one (so Amazon got 2 bad ones and 2 good ones back - assuming the 2 good ones actually made it back in one piece). I am not so sure that ordering light bulbs to be shipped by UPS or USPS is a workable idea - they really throw this stuff around...Customer Review: I like the product and the soft light
Summary: 3 Stars
I like the product, and a great price. I ordered two packages. A bulb in one of the packages was broken. I can't return or get a refund unless I ship back the entire package. That's why the 3 stars. They aren't useful unless they aren't broken. The replacement pack was entirely broken. I wish it was packed better. I liked the convience of buying through AmazonCustomer Review: No good for the environment
Summary: 2 Stars
I would rather take the extra energy use than deal with the poisonous mercury in these bulbs. Most will be thrown away and make their way to our landfills where they will leak mercury into the ground. If enough of them end up there they could leak this mercury into underground water sources. Lets come up with another alternative to conventional bulbs.
