Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of 160 DIMMABLE Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs! LOT OF 160 Lamps 15w = 75w ULAmerica Model: SDS15-2P UL Listed 1100Lumens 8000 Hrs Life Energy StarCustomer Review: Cut out 77% of your energy usage for lights! Summary: 5 Stars
I used these bulbs in a dimmable chandelier. The chandelier used to burn 500W total, now it burns only 115W. It also appears to me to be a brighter light.
Replacing your standard incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents, even if only in the lights you use the most often, will save you a bunch on your electric bill, not to mention using less energy means less power plants, less burning of coal, which helps the planet and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Customer Review: Lots of light, lots of noise Summary: 2 Stars
I picked these up to use in my bedrooms and used them for about a month. The light was too bright, the bulbs tended to buzz especially when dimmed, and they didn't dim nearly enough. I replaced them with dimmable LED bulbs and moved these to a bathroom fixture that was not on a dimmer. I actually gave the rest of them away to someone else and will be going with LED lights throughout the house.
Customer Review: Waste of money - Premature bulb failure Summary: 1 Stars
Waste of good money. In less than nine months three of these bulbs already died. We used them for a couple of hours in the evening during the week and a bit longer on weekends. They didn't come close to the thousands of hours advertised.
