Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sylvania 29149 13-Watt 120-Volt Compact Fluorescent MiniTwist Lamp with Medium Base, Warm White, 12 Pack #CF13ELMTWSTCVPCustomer Review: Do not buy Sylvania Summary: 1 StarsI have over one hundred light bulbs in my house. I have replaced about 90 of the incandescent bulbs with CFLs. I started about 3 years ago and bought some off brand and GE bulbs. About a year and a half ago I started buying the Sylvania bulbs. Within a couple of months, a bulb burned out. It was a Sylvania. I figured out of 90, one failure could be expected. A month or so later, a second one burned out. It too was a Sylvania. After a year and a half, I have had over 15 of the original 45-50 Sylvaina bulbs burn out. The ones I put in 3 years ago from various other manufacturers are all still going strong. People have said it depends on where the bulbs are installed but the bulbs that have burned out in my home were in ceiling fans, bathrooms fixtures, table lamps, and floor lamps. They were in all types of rooms so there was not a consistent source of the problems.
I went to the hardwar store where I purchased most of the bulbs to see what I could do about replacing the faulty ones and they told me to contact the manufacturer. After contacting Sylvania, they commented that they would replace the bulbs only if I could produce a copy of the original receipt. I did not have one so I was out of luck. In addition to the ones that quit working, I have now had two of the Sylvania bulbs burn out and spew smoke throughout the rooms they were in. One in a ceiling fan and the other in a bathroom.
I am a believer in reducing energy consumption and think that the CFLs have a place but I will never buy another Sylvania bulb. Check out other brands before using these, the failure rate is just way too high. Oh yeah, keep your receipts.
