 Not a bright as expected |

| This bulb has good color, but is definitely not equal to 60-150W, as described. There is no discernable difference between the second and third levels. FOLLOWUP: Lasted less than a year, not even functioning three ways most of the time, then just stopped functioning periodically. A real ripoff! |
Know what you are getting.

First, I agree with the other reviewer that there is no difference between the middle and the highest levels. You really see no difference.
Second, these are definitely NOT soft white. They have a real "silver" (for lack of a better color to describe it) tone to them where soft white will have more of a yellow tone to them.
I put two of these in the lamps next to my bed and I couldn't take the color of them after one night and replaced them. There is really nothing soft about the light they produce. Perhaps they would look ok in an office setting if used during the day, but in my opinion they are not appropriate (based on what I am used to) for lighting up your home at night.
They fit fine in the lamps. They are roughly the same size as a typical 3-way bulb. |

I find that it does have 3 true levels--I had to wait a little for the highest level to warm up.
The downside: it is has the ugliest, harshest light of any fluorescent I have seen. After 1 hour I went back to incandescent. |

| This bulb puts off the worst fluorescent light I think I've seen. I only hope that I am able to return it, because there is no way I'm keeping this in my light. |

| This bulb is made with more PLASTICS than a regular bulb. Manufacturing these plastics produces DIOXINS that float up into the atmosphere and, through wind currents, land at the polar regions of the earth, dumping toxins on the lands and life there. This bulb is made of MERCURY which cannot be disposed of in the regular trash. It must be taken to a company that specifically handles the TOXIC materials. Instead of people disposing of these properly, the toxic bulbs end up in landfills, adding to the mercury toxicity of landfills and exposure of sanitation workers who don't deserve to be exposed. According to energy star, it is said that this product reduces carbon emissions but, the energy source used in the energy star reports is electricity from COAL PLANTS; nearly the most toxic energy source available. COAL PLANTS release HUGE amounts of carbon and MERCURY into the atmosphere! Buy a regular light bulb. Purchase your power from solar and wind. Think holistically. Would you want to live with this light bulb in your back yard for the next 200-1000 years while it attempts to biodegrade? Protect your home and your temple; this earth and your body. Live clean brothers and sisters! Make conscious, holistic consumer choices. Don't let poorly thought out FADS guider your consumer choices! It's time for American consumers to realize the impact of where they lay down the buck! Live long and prosper!! :) |
