These bulbs are not as bright as they claim. After switching to all CFLs I noticed right away that they were dim. This is compounded over time. My CFLs lost approximately 50% percent of their brightness in the first month. Before anyone questions this I should make you aware that this is the way fluorescent light bulb go out, they dim over time.

I have done research and found out the following:

1. Manufactures are overestimating the brightness of the bulbs.

2. Bulbs are approximately 50% dimmer then Incandescent equivalents.
EX: Incandescent 60W - 126 lux (126 lumen/square meter) CFL 12W ( 60W equivalent) - 77 lux (77 lumen/square meter) as measured by a light meter.

Don't get me wrong. I liked the idea of CFLs, longer life, lower electrical bills, and even though I am no tree hugger they are supposedly better for the environment.

But I now find myself buying more lamps to try to make the room bright enough to read. Does it really save energy if I replace one incandescent bulb with 10 CFLs?

Lets do the math.

1 x 60W bulb = 60W
10 x 13W CFL = 130W

Great light from little bulbs. They cost a little more, but are well worth the price.

I bought these bulbs with the idea of going green... little did I know it was going to cost me green.
Within a week and a half two out of the three bulbs I installed have burned out. I double checked and tried screwing them in a bit more just in case they somehow became loose in the fixture. They burned out far too quickly.
2 out of 3 is not acceptable.
I would suggest these are not the bulbs to buy.

I ordered this 6 pack of bulbs because the price was just to good to pass on. I had recently purchased some "smart bulbs" and paid a lot more for the 3 count pkg. I must admit I was a bit hesitant but upon receiving my electric bill I am convinced!! I have saved over $50.00 a month so far! I am looking forward to the continued savings. The bulbs put off great light for a fraction of the coat. Thank you, Amazon!!

Well, they are light bulbs, they either work or they don't. Or, in my case, one bulb in the package was broken. The package wasn't crushed during shipment, and the tip that was broke off wasn't in the box, looks like it was packed that way. The only good news here is I found it before I got to the last bulb in the carton.
