I think these bulbs are a great, no compromise alternative to a 65W incandescent indoor flood light. They are rated at a few lumens more than a standard light and when I mixed and matched these with standard 65W bulbs (in a room with multiple recessed lights) neither me nor my wife could see a difference at any dimming level.
I'm seeing a lot of odd reviews claiming these have mercury (they don't), aren't bright (they are), and take time to warm up (absolutely not true) -- which make me think that people are confused about the bulb they are reviewing. There are also reviews stating that these burned out quickly -- which I can't speak to (having only put them in recently) but they are rated as having long lives, and all bulb lifetimes are statistical averages.

Been slowly updating the lighting in my home with more efficient, compact fluorescents, cold cathode compact fluorescents, and LED's. There were two areas were CFL's and CCFL's just plain didn't work. The first, an electronic eye in the hallway. The CFL and CCFL would flicker and give off light at such a frequency that the electronic eye couldn't handle it. The other was with a series of Lutron's digital dimmers (Maestro). These lights fade up and down when you turn them on and off....and every solution of "dimmable" CFL's and CCFL's struggled with these digital dimmers. No matter how much I burned in the bulbs...a double tap on the Maestro (to full on) would put the digital dimmer into a loop....
The Halogena Energy Savers have been the solution to both problems (the LED would probably work for the electronic eye, but are still too expensive for my tastes). In the electronic eye situation, the light fires up, no problem, no lag in warmup time...and no loss of...Read more

I just replaced the Compact Fluorescent light bulbs I had in the recessed cans in my living room with these Halogena Energy Savers from Philips. What a difference! It is so much brighter in my living room now and The best part is that I can finally dim my lights at night and save energy at the same time! It is a great alternative for those of us who do not like the light quality of Compact Fluorescents, but still want to save energy and help the environment. These are great bulbs from Philips!
