Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Takes a short swirly bulb that snaps in. They turn on instantly, there's no buzzing, and the brightness is the same as the old cfls. These are brighter (which is great) and turn-on without flickering.

These bulbs work great in our 7-year old panasonic bathroom fans. It replaces the old compact fluorescence bulbs easily. It even comes wit ha sticker to warn users not to use regular fluorescent bulbs anymore.



Cons

There are wiring instructions that mention altering the fixture to bypass the ballast, but the wires in the instructions are nothing like the fixture's.

Quality


Truly plug and play for me worked as advertised great upgrade


They work great and were easy to install


Plus the cfl bulbs are a pain to remove ive had them break off at the base which is a disaster


Purchased other 13w bulbs that flickered before coming on and one stopped working within 30 minutes

Price


These were exactly what i needed the right base a range of color temperatures and not too expensive


Good value for the money since it came as a 2 pack whereas the others inside the store costs more just for 1

Shipping


Title says it all these arrived fast fit perfect and were super bright

Packaging/appearance


I dont know if it was packed this way or if i received a returned item but the outside of the box was not damaged only the bulb within


But one of the two lights in the package was broken in the box when it arrived with the clear top separated from the opaque base

Competitiveness


It is so bright and works better than the cfl it replaced


No intermittent rapid flicker like i experienced with another brand


Doubt this is as good as an ottlite as far as the daylight spectrum of colors goes


That is very different than the cfl

    Tried multiple compact fluorescent bulbs that all had too large of a base


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The light manufacturer no longer makes or has a source for the bulbs so i needed a substitute


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I pulled the ballast from the light to save a bit of energy and because the bulb did not need it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I never thought id find a replacement lamp
