Tools and Hardware Reviews of Globe 6880201 13-Watt Mini Compact Fluorescent Spiral Light Bulb (60-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Soft White, 8 Pack
Customer Review: Both bulbs blink
Summary: 1 Stars
With my first N:Vision bulb, it started blinking after it was on between 6 and 12 hours. I returned it to Home Depot for an exchange and the same thing happened. I tried two fixtures with no luck.
When it blinks, I can turn the lamp off, then on and the blinking stops temporarily.
N:VISION clearly has a quality problem.
Customer Review: mini compact fluorescent
Summary: 5 Stars
Switching from incandescent to compact flourescent bulbs is a significant energy saver, and long-time money saver. These minis are great because the base is small enough that lamp hasps which won't fit over base of regular compact fluourescent will often fit over these. Not a lot of light, but only 13 watts of energy burned.Customer Review: Inconvenient usage
Summary: 3 Stars
These bulbs take 1-2 seconds to turn on and then a few minutes before reaching maximum brightness. I've seen better performance from other brands.
EDIT: Found a great brand. Go to Home Depot and there you will find N:Vision brand fluorescent light bulbs. They are instant on.
Customer Review: High Failure Rate for This Bulb and Amazon
Summary: 1 Stars
Initially, I bought an 8-pack of these bulbs. They seemed ideal--small with very bright, white light. But after a few minutes of use, one began to blink and then went out for good. I e-mailed Amazon and asked for a replacement or refund for one bulb. The reply was quick but not not much help. They would send a new set. But I had to return not just the bad bulb, but all 8. If I did not return the whole set within 30 days, I would be charged with the second set; i.e., no refund for the bad bulb. Why should I remove 7 working bulbs, find packing material, repack them, download a shipping label, and take all this to the post office or a shipper, just because Amazon sent me a defective product? Since I could use more of the bulbs, I decided to accept the new shipment without returning the first one; i.e., no refund for the bad bulb. Then, a second bulb failed. Now I am angry. Over the years, I have bought many hundreds--maybe thousands--of dollars of products of all kinds from Amazon, from electronics to clothes to food. Until now, I have never had to ask for a refund or replacement. Overall, they have a great, super-convenient business model. But good service for customers with a problem seems to be not part of the model. I will no be longer an Amazon customer.Customer Review: Defective out of the box
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought an 8-pack recently and 1 of them is defective out of the box. :( I emailed the company like 2 weeks ago but so far haven't heard back from them.
