Feit 23-Watt Compact Fluorescent Spiral Light Bulb (100-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), 4-Pack

I can't say much positive about the cfl bulbs from FEIT. The light quality was what i expected from a cfl... not quite as good as a regular incandescent bulb, but decent. However, these bulbs DO NOT LAST, nor are they going to save you money. These cfl bulbs are supposed to "last 13 times longer than a standard 750 hour bulb." (That's printed right on the box the bulbs came in.) That means these bulbs are supposed to last over 9000 hours and save you hundreds of dollars. Frankly, I'd call it blatant misrepresentation and false advertising. They will cost you MORE, regardless of any energy savings. I bought 12 bulbs and put them all through my house. As of this day, less than 2 years later, not ONE of the bulbs is still working. NOT ONE! Some of the bulbs (conservatively, i'd say 4 or 5, but i can't remember exactly. All i know is, it was too many) quit working within about 3-5 months. Most of them blew out within a year. Two actually lasted about 1 1/2 years. I have regular...Read more

When I first received these light bulbs, one of them was broken. But Amazon was good enough to credit my balance a few dollars to make up for it. I installed 2 of these bulbs outside for my porch and side lights to keep on all night, every night. I figured that since I was keeping the bulbs on all night, that I may as well save money on KWH usage; these bulbs giving off 100 watts and using actually using 23 watts each.

I will say that these bulbs worked very well. They illuminated my entire front and side of the house, which is what I needed. The light looked very nice and natural, like daylight. I was very pleased... until one of them burned out already. I ordered these toward the end of May. It is only the middle of July right now. Now I may not be a math expert, but somehow I think that the claim "lasts 13 times longer" or "up to 10 years" is pretty faulty. I didn't even get 2 months out of mine; which is about the same time I got out of regular light bulbs. For their...Read more

Unlike the more well known brands, Feit DAYLIGHT is the only one I have found that really imitates DAYLIGHT. It emits a pure white light reminiscent of a sunny day at the beach. Other brands, despite claiming to be "natural light" or "daylight", exhibit that sickly yellow tint found in CFL bulbs. Please be sure that you are puchasing Feit DAYLIGHT Model #ESL23TM/D as other Feit CFL bulbs produce that same ugly yellow glow!!!!!!!!!!!
It is excellent for minor surgery, ie splinter removal, etc. reading fine print in books or newspapers but is ill advised for reading shiny reflective material such as magazines.
