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: I think these are a reasonable deal...
Summary: 4 Stars
I have found better prices, [...]. I have installed them throughout our house and note the following:
Noticeable reduction in power bill.
Perfectly reasonable light, especially in shaded lights.
Best for areas where lights are on for more than 30'.
Not good for closets or similar "off-on" situations.
Last for a long time.
Can't be used with dimmers.
Take a few bulbs to local recycler about twice a year.
Customer Review: Gives a nice warm light and a warm fuzzy feeling
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the 12 pack of these bulbs and replaced every incandescent bulb I could with them. They give off a nice warm light, not harsh at all. There is a brief pause between flipping the switch and the light coming on but that's the way life is in the non-incandescent world. At least you get a warm fuzzy feeling knowing you're being a bit kinder to the environment... and you're saving money on the power bill.
No complaints here.
Customer Review: Not for everyone.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want the light to come on like now chances are you don't want these.Now the light takes a second to come on (not all the time,sometimes its instantaneous)and will be slightly dark til it warms up(another few seconds) and brightens the room very nicely.
So morale of the story:All good things come to those who wait.
Or if you can't wait 5 seconds for bright light you should probably learn some patience.
Customer Review: Not a perfect solution
Summary: 2 Stars
CF bulbs CANNOT be just thrown away. They MUST be treated as toxic waste. Will everyone remember? Is "Toxic" the new "Green"? No, not really. We are just trading one problem (high energy consumption) for another (toxic pollution of our watershed).
I hate working under fluorescents, and would rather live in the dark than populate my house with cold, 60Hz flickering light.
Customer Review: Loving these bulbs!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I find these bulbs to be very bright and a great value, they do appear to me to be a bit on the yellow side though. They are a bit slow to start, that is to get to full brightness. It takes about 1 to 2 seconds for them to initially light, and another 30 seconds or so to be fully lit. Getting these new bulbs also got me around to FINALLY cleaning the lamp shades and globes:-)!
