Tools and Hardware Reviews of Globe 4860201 13-Watt Ultra-Mini Compact Fluorescent Spiral Bulb (60-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Soft White, 4 Pack
Customer Review: Great small fluorescent bulb
Summary: 5 Stars
This fluorescent bulb comes in a small form factor (this is ultra-mini). Definitely smaller than a normal light bulb, and purportedly will save you $34/bulb over the life of the bulb.
After reading some of the reviews here, I tried out all the bulbs when they arrived, just to make sure that they didnt break on the ship over. All the bulbs worked (despite the skimpy padding in the box), so no complaints here!
Customer Review: Compact Fluorescent Bulbs contain mercury
Summary: 1 Stars
Compact Fluorescent Bulbs contain mercury. I am concerned about mercury contamination due to glass breakage and also eventual disposal problems. What about groundwater contamination? What is going to happen when these bulbs are discarded in vast quantities and it is discovered that they are not truly "green" but are a biohazard? Is it going to be worth the small amount of pocket change that you save annually?Customer Review: florescent light bult
Summary: 1 Stars
Sure they do save on electricity and last longer however people are not seeming to mention that they contain toxic mercury, which can be ingested or inhaled when they break. Also nobody ever talks about how florescent lights are not natural lighting and can cause seasonal depression or SAD. I will stick with my full spectrum natural lighting or open the shades , its alot less toxic to my health.Customer Review: Good product with great packaging
Summary: 4 Stars
Aside from being a good CFL with comparable warm light as those of an incandescent, the packaging deserves kudos as these are packaged in a vacuum plastic type as opposed to arriving in a carton box. I ordered several of these and none of them arrived broken. I can't say the same for the 100 Watt equivalent that I had also purchased that came in a box, most of which were destroyed on arrival.Customer Review: Perfect for vanity lights
Summary: 5 Stars
I got these to go in the vanity lights over our mirror in the master bath, hoping they would be cooler on hot summer mornings than the regular bulbs, and they're great! Their light is more neutral, which helps in make-up choices, and they don't radiate heat like having six 60-watt bulbs do, so I can blow dry without the room getting too warm. The energy savings is just icing on the cake!
