 Measure before you buy! August 1, 2008
M. B. Berberich (Greenville, NC)
While looking at a competitor's bulb, I noted that it was 6.5" tall, so I paid attention to this GE bulb. There is no mention of bulb height, a serious omission IMHO. I went to GE's site and found there that the height of this bulb above the lamp socket is 6.4". That means that neither the GE bulb nor its competitor will fit in ANY of my table or floor lamps. Their lamp harps (the gadgets that support the shade) are all too short. Bummer! This will work in torchiere lamps or other applications where bulb height is not an issue.

General Electric makes these 42-watt (120-Volt, 150 watt equivalent) compact fluorescent light bulbs (or "CFLs"); and they do work pretty well! I used one of these bulbs for the main light fixture in my dining room area a few days ago; and I'm now starting to actually save a little extra money on my electric bill. I really like that these light bulbs last much, much longer than conventional "incandescent" light bulbs. This will last me for quite a few years.
One thing is very positive: for most lighting fixtures, you will not have to worry about the compact fluorescent light bulb fitting into the electrical bulb socket. They fit in very easily; I even compared the two metallic ends in the store to make sure they really were the same width and length! This truly manages to omit just as much light as a conventional 150 watt light bulb while only using 42 watts of energy.
There is one change, however, that I will have to get used to: these bulks don't exactly function the same way incandescent bulbs do. First, when you turn on the light, the bulb will flicker for about 15 to 30 seconds before turning on all the way. Actually, this isn't too bad. The second "feature" is that the light from the bulb isn't quite the same that you would get from an incandescent bulb. The light just seems slightly less intense although I admit there's not a major difference.
Overall, these bulbs DO save money and they fit most lighting fixtures. Do NOT choose these if you have a "dimmer" feature on your lighting fixture; I believe that they make special fluorescent bulbs just for that type of lighting fixture. I predict that you will definitely save money on your electric bill; and I really like that these bulbs last for years at a time. That's incredible; most of not all incandescent bulbs would have to be replaced much, much sooner than these bulbs will need to be replaced. I recommend compact fluorescent light bulbs ("CFLs") for people like me who want to go as "green" as soon as possible.

I have been using these bulbs for 6 months in my living room. They have worked flawlessly. Very bright and yet economical. Highly recommended.
