Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Overall, these bulbs are good replacements for typical incandescent flood lights. The amount of light they put out is comparable.
These are also the first fluorescent flood lights I have found which work with dimmer switches. So a couple plusses in their favor.
There are a couple important differences between these bulbs and a typical incandescent bulbs:
1) they are more expensive
2) they have about a 1/2 second 'pause' when turning on. When hooked up to the same switch, an incandescent bulb will come on first, by maybe a half second. More of a small annoyance than anything, but the expectation is immediate light when you flip the switch
3) there is a 'warm up' time before these bulbs emit their full light output. Probably 90 seconds before they are 100%. They start at probably 70%.
4) these bulbs work with a dimmer switch, but the levels are different than a typical bulb. They probably range between 20% and 100%, whereas a typical bulb would go from 1% - 100%.
Overall, I am satisfied. They use less energy, put out the same light and work with dimmers.
