I tried to ordered the his new comedy songs CD and thought the light bulbs were included for pressing a certain 'trial offer' button. Normally Amazon isn't so confusing to use.
Rating: - What I expected
The light is just right for all my rooms. They do last a long and save money. I have been using the Fluorescents for a long time and this is my first on-line order for light bulbs. Of course some of them came broken. All four corner light bulbs were broken. I didn't tell Amazon.com or expect a replacement.
Good value even with 4 broken. I recomment these to every one.
Rating: - Caution about these bulbs
Just a little caution on CFL's in general. They are made using the element Mercury. If one of these bulbs breaks, it's going to cost you a small fortune to get the mercury cleaned out of your house. If you have small children, don't put these bulbs in any place that might be in danger of being broken. Sure they'll save you money on your light bill and the companies make you think you're saving the planet, but you're hurting it really. In 5 years, when these bulbs start to burn out, our landfills will be full of mercury. I wonder what the autism rates will be by then?
Rating: - Energy saver
This is a great energy saver and a great package price. The light from these lights a satisfactory.
Rating: - Gives a nice warm light and a warm fuzzy feeling
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.
