Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of 4 Pack DIMMABLE Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs! 23w = 100w ULAmerica Model: SDS23P UL Listed 1600Lumens 8000 Hrs Life Energy StarCustomer Review: Dimmable flourescent bulbs Summary: 2 Stars
These sounded positively too good to be true, a flourescent bulb that dims! While this is true the 10,000 hour life time promised by theses type of bulbs is a pipe dream. I did not get more than two months out of any bulb, they hummed, and they are toxic. You can't just throw them away they contain mercury. The minus's and the headaches of constantly changing the bulbs and finding somwhere to dispose of these is NOT worth the savings in energy!
Customer Review: won't last... poor CS Summary: 1 Stars
Died after a few months. I called the warranty/returns line - 1-877-854-4489 - and the guy said to return it to the store. These were bought 4 months ago and the store won't take them back. So now I have to dispose of it at the electronics recycling center for a fee. Fluorescent bulb manufacturers should be required by law to take them back for recycling... otherwise there's no incentive to produce a long lasting bulb/ballast.
Customer Review: Extremely short working life!!! Summary: 2 Stars
These bulbs do work with dimmer switches, however, they don't work very long. Over half of my bulbs have failed...some within days, and some within a few months. This brand is sold on Amazon and ebay at extremely low prices, but if you factor in the cost of replacement, you're not saving all that much. You are better off with a name brand from a company like GE who will promptly replace your bulb if it fails.
Customer Review: Limited Life Summary: 3 Stars
While most of them are great and do dim down to 30 % or so, I have had 2 lamp failures out of the 18 that we use in our home. The units that failed were the cfl spiral, but all 6 par floods are working just fine. Two out of 12 is too high a failure rate, but for now the next step is too expensive for me which would be LED lighting that is not dimmable.
Customer Review: very high failure rate Summary: 1 Stars
Bought these for an open dining room light with four bulbs (I had purchased 8 bulbs to place extras in other fixtures)
Within a couple weeks all 4 bulbs failed, so I put the extras in there.
Now a couple months later, 2 of the 4 have failed.
Since I really want to go with CFL, will try another manufacturer, but do not recommend these
