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: Don't "Stock up" until you know what you are buying!
Summary: 5 Stars
Compact florescent(CF) bulbs are a great way to lower your energy costs,reduce heat and extend the life of your bulbs.That being said be aware that different types/brands have different Operating characteristics, some have harsh almost "Halloween" style light, some take a minute or so to warm up to full brightness, some take a split second to come on at all. Not every CF is going to meet your needs in a particular situation, so try different ones until you find the ones that say look good in the kitchen, although others might be better to read by,don't feel bad using a Halogen to read if the CF gives you a headache, and don't "Stock Up" until you have tried and like the light output.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: 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: I've made the conversion.
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazon offered us a great insentive to go green. I have replaced all my lightbulbs with these. After you get used to the few second delay when you turn these on then you will be very happy with the more true light they give off.
You will also love the fact that your electric bill will go down.
They come packed very well with each bulb in its own sturdy little box in a larger box and then in a big box with airbags. Arrives in perfect condition.
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.
