Tools and Hardware Reviews of Globe 48526 23-Watt Mini Compact Fluorescent Spiral Bulb (100-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Soft White, 4 Pack
Customer Review: I like the product and the soft light
Summary: 3 Stars
I like the product, and a great price. I ordered two packages. A bulb in one of the packages was broken. I can't return or get a refund unless I ship back the entire package. That's why the 3 stars. They aren't useful unless they aren't broken. The replacement pack was entirely broken. I wish it was packed better. I liked the convience of buying through AmazonCustomer Review: Satisfied Despite Some Broken Bulbs
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered two 4-packs of these bulbs to replace a couple of 40 watt bulbs and a 60 watt bulb. By that comparison, the new light is HUGE and I am very satisfied with it. I don't know how well these would would work for actually replacing 100 watt bulbs. I was a bit disappointed that only six of the eight bulbs arrived in working condition.Customer Review: OK. You get what you pay for
Summary: 3 Stars
These did not last me that long and are not as bright as the other brands available. I have several brands that have outlasted these by years.
The other types you may want to look at are LED lights. They consume even less, but may not be sutable for all lighting.
Customer Review: one star for each bulb that still works
Summary: 2 Stars
This was my first experience with compact fluorescent bulbs. I ordered a four pack of the 23 watt bulbs and a four pack of the 13 watt bulbs. The 23 watt bulbs arrived first. They were thrown in a box with very little packaging. One of the bulbs had broken. This was a bit disturbing since they contain mercury. After doing some research, I learned that if you break a fluorescent bulb, the mercury is only hazardous within the first 15 minutes or so. This is because it is in a gas form and will soon disperse into the environment. So if you break one, walk away and try to ventilate the room it was broken in. Anyhow, I sent the bulbs back (including the broken one). This was very easy and I received new bulbs about two days later that were in their original packaging. Thank you Amazon for making this so easy. I also received a confirmation email indicating that they received the damaged bulbs. When I got the bulbs home, I found that they were slightly too thick to fit into one of my floor lamps. I consisder this a learning experience and I don't blame Globe for this. I put a bulb in my other floor lamp and it burned out in about 15-30 minutes. The second one lasted about two days. The third and fourth ones are still going after a couple of weeks. I would not order from Globe again.Customer Review: Buy them at a store
Summary: 2 Stars
I have no problem with the bulbs, but they were shipped loose in a box with some Fill-Air on top. Needless to say, many of them showed up in pieces. Broken glass was falling out of the boxes as I picked them up. Not good. I assumed they would be in clam shell packaging like the ones you would buy at Home Depot or Lowes, but that's not the case. It'd be easier to just go to Home Depot or Lowes and pick them up. That way you'll know they're intact when you get them.
