Comments on Rita's review of Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb
Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb
Description: CFL bulb - high lifetime, energy saving bulb.
Sylvania Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb
We got this bulb for a reading light. We needed the equivalent of a 150 watt light bulb, and this certainly fills the bill!
It is VERY bright, and feels like sunlight in terms of the color. It has a color number of 3000K and a rated output of 2600 lumens.
We like this compact fluorescent better than some of the others we have gotten, which are dimmer to begin with, although they brighten up in a bit. Some faster than others!
This one comes on fast and bright.
It cost us about 10 smackeroos, which we thought was a bit high, but this was the only 150 watt equivalent we could find at the local big box retailer, and hubby really needed a reading light since his last 3-way conventional had gone down to 50 watts only. We did NOT want to get another conventional bulb for that relatively high usage lamp.
The expected life of the bulb is 6000 hours.
Unlike some other compact fluorescents which we have gotten or looked at, this bulb has NO warning about interference with radios, cordless phones, televisons, and//or remote controls.
