I previously used the older type light bulbs and these perform just as well.

- I have to admit there is about a one second delay before the light actually comes on when using these bulbs.

- The brightness is a little lower compared to the older style bulbs, but I actually think this is a good thing as I don't even use the higher settings.

Overall, these bulbs are great buys. I just hope they last as long as they are supposed to. So far it's been a few weeks and no complaints.

Big energy saver is too big

This three way bulb is larger than the incandescent bulb it replaces, and may not fit in the harp of a lamp. Mine barely fit, and is touching the harp. Poor market research ...Read complete review

I was pleasantly surprised to find 3 way CFLs and happily ordered 2 of these for my floor lamps. They are way too large to fit into the harp of the lamp.
What a disappointment!

I bought these bulbs to replace some off-brand ones I found at another store. The old ones blinked a lot or would not burn unless on a higher wattage-which defeats the purpose of buying the flourescents in the first place.
