Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sylvania 29149 13-Watt 120-Volt Compact Fluorescent MiniTwist Lamp with Medium Base, Warm White, 12 Pack #CF13ELMTWSTCVP
Customer Review: Almost enough for the whole house!
Summary: 5 Stars
We use a lot of natural light in our home, so this 12-pack was perfect for replacing bulbs in the few fixtures that we use often. The warm white is especially wonderful in the living room and kitchen areas. I haven't noticed an 'on' delay when turning the lights on, but I do notice that there's a few-second warm up period before they brighten. The only lamp that we couldn't use these bulbs in is our 3-level dimmer lamp. My husband immediately noticed that it was "not as bright" in our hallway after we installed them, but we noticed our utility bill was a few dollars less. We freecycled our incandescent bulbs and are greatly enjoying our energy-saving lighting.Customer Review: Look Closely at Comparable Wattage
Summary: 2 Stars
I grew up in the "house of dark." My parents were immigrants who also suffered through the depression so electricity and phone bills (luxuries!)were closely watched. In response I have always desired a very bright environment. I have 7 lamps and track lighting in a 12x18 living room + eating el. Maybe I didn't read closely but I somehow thought these bulbs were equivalent to 100 watts which is my absolute lowest. The basic message is that if you want to go green but maintain a high level of artifical light closely read the comparable wattage. My son and DIL have inherited "light deprivation decorating" so they will be the recipients of this order.Customer Review: Lasts long saves energy
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased 12 pack from amazon when these were on sale for $17.00.. seems to last for ever.. most of my house have these now.. I noticed these have life better than the ones I purchased from costco.. price wise, its almost the same as costco or little cheaper as I dont pay taxes. s/h is free thanks to prime s/h (Thanks amazon!)
it takes few seconds for these to light up.. but thats ok with me. Most places I have 3-4 bulbs in the fixture I changed all of them to the fluorescent bulb. If you dont like the fact it takes few seconds, put a regular bulb and rest fluorescent.
Buy these save planet!
Customer Review: Dissapointed with Sylvania Quality control
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought a 2-pack of Sylvania Candelabra base CF at Lowes. One bulb was bad. I took them back and bought two 2-packs. From these 4 bulbs, one of them was bad. I then bought a 3-pack of Standard base Sylvania CF bulbs at Home Depot. One of these three bulbs was bad.
I was reluctant to purchase the no-name brands but it is apparent that the Sylvania brand is a piece of crap. Another gotch is that if you buy a multi-pak and one is bad you have to return all the bulbs. If you buy them in single packs you pay a lot more.
I'd stay away from Sylvanias until they do something about their QC.
Customer Review: Good for the environment
Summary: 4 Stars
These 13 watt bulbs will save you a few bucks each year ,and will give you good light, but not as bright compared to a traditional 60 W bulb.. There is a slight delay when you turn them on, and they are not compatible with a dimmer. These are not the brightest CF light bulbs on the market, but are great deals for everyday uses, like placing them in the bathroom, or hallways. I would suggest using CF bulbs for places where you do not need super bright light, and will leave the light on for extended periods of time. These will save you on energy costs and help the environment.
