Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sylvania 29490 23-Watt CFL Mini Twist Light Bulb, Soft White, 6 pack
Customer Review: Excellent CFL
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried many different CFL bulbs and found this Sylvania to be the best replacement for 100W bulbs. As other reviewers have stated they do take a few minutes to warm up to full brightness, but I feel this is a minor inconvenience for what is gained. The bulbs give off light that is extremely close to old fashioned incandescent bulbs. If it wasn't for the fact that they appear brighter than the 100 watt bulbs they replaced I wouldn't notice the difference, the color is that good. So if you hate the sickening blue light given off by other CFLs, this is the bulb for you.
Two years in and the life of these bulbs has been very good. Out of 18 bulbs I have only lost two. One burnt out after 18 months, one died after I accidentally hit it with a folding ladder (oops.)
Customer Review: Top Quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I compared these directly with the GE 23 watt model and slightly prefer these bulbs from Sylvania, because the light is a bit more like natural daylight (3000K Color Temp) than the slightly more yellow GE (2700K), which is more like a traditional incandescent color. There are some studies showing that natural light improves your mood, especially during the winter when there is less daylight. That may be a bit of wishful thinking, but it made me feel good to save a lot of money and use less electricity using a compact fluorescent. These fit readily into standard lamp sockets and turn on quickly. Note: it is not recommended to use any cfl bulb outdoors where exposed to the elements.
Customer Review: Gotta love these
Summary: 5 Stars
I find these bulbs to be very bright and a great value!! 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:-)!!Customer Review: Same light, save energy
Summary: 5 Stars
These bulbs work great and last a long time. The only negative is they don't seem to make it through shipping too well; they are fragile. I had to order twice due to bulb breakage. The price is right and you're saving energy at the same time. I've changed all my incandescents to flourescents.Customer Review: Bright light lower wattage
Summary: 5 Stars
I hesitated in purchasing this because I didn't think it would actually fit in my old fixtures but it did. Not only did it fit but gives a nice warm bright light instant on and saves me over 250 watts in my kitchen. I replaced my old bulbs with these and lower my electrical bill considerably.
