Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of GE 26 Watt Energy Smart CFL - 6 Pack - 100 Watt Replacement
Customer Review: Good lights
Summary: 4 Stars
These lights do their job. They take a little while to warm up (a few seconds) to full brightness, but once they are there the light is steady and warm. For the price, they are a good purchase.Customer Review: I've gotten used to them because of the upcoming ban but...
Summary: 1 Stars
I've gotten used to them because of the upcoming ban but can't imagine these really are healthier for the environment. They put out a disgusting smell every time one of them dies that makes me wonder what chemicals I am breathing in. (Maybe some of that mercury?) The base actually melts--a lot-- and that's when they are housed in an open fixture. Plus, I keep the dead ones in a box to take to the local hardware for recycle but I cannot believe everyone does that. How many of these are ending up, along with all those cash for clunker cars, in our local landfills?Customer Review: Inexpensive CFL's
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently rehabbed a rental property. In the process, we replaced all the light fixtures with new ones. I needed bulbs for these fixtures. I ended up going with CFL's because they would be more efficient and I assume the tenants would appreciate it. These bulbs fit into all of the fixtures we installed. The bulbs were inexpensive. I purchased 4 packs (32 bulbs) for $50. The light quality is good and it doesn't have a very log start up time. It's almost instantaneously. If you're looking for quality, yet inexpensive CFL bulbs, this is the way to go.Customer Review: Love 'em
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased and moved into a house that already had these bulbs in many of the overhead fixtures and were also used exclusively in the basement and outside fixtures. I had never used the newer cfls because of poor experience with older cfls. I'm very impressed with the new versions. Instant on and long life. The bulbs last much longer than incandescent bulbs. I would have to replace a regular outside incandescent once per month. With the cfls, I've only replaced one outside light in the last 8 months and I don't know how ling it was there to begin with as it was in the fixture when we moved into the house. I'm sold on these for energy savings and long life!Customer Review: Nice but don't last long.
Summary: 2 Stars
The seller was great but the bulbs left something to be desired.
I got them around September 4th 2009 and here it is November 4th 2009 and half of the bulbs are dead.
The package says they are 5 year bulb's well if so that 5 years just blew by.
I contacted GE about this but don't expect to hear anything back from them.
I would say stay away from these GE CF bulbs.
