Sunlite SL24/R 24 Watt Spiral Energy Saving CFL Light Bulb Medium Base, Red

At first I was a little disappointed at the amount of light delivered, but I took some measurements and realized the eye is a poor judge of illumination in a a dark room. My previous 13 watt bug light measured 13 watts true power draw and delivered 83 lux at one meter distance. These bulbs measured 23 watts true power draw, not the 24 advertised, but no big deal. In both cases I let the bulbs warm up for five minutes before measuring. These bulbs delivered 141 lux at one meter, or just about right relative to the bulb it replaced. When I placed the order, I had wondered if I had not overdone it, and would light up the outdoors like Broadway. My worries were pre-mature. The two lights on either side of the door do a better job of lighting up the immediate area than the 13 watt bulbs did, but sunglasses absolutely not needed.
I ordered 5 of these bulbs, they are all uniform in color and do not attract more than the occasional bug, so they are doing their job. They have no...Read more

I use these to help light a muslin green screen, as muslin soaks up light. They're not bad, though I've noticed a few have hot spots of white color in them -- the green isn't uniform on the glass. Good value for the money, but could be better (and cheaper).

I bought this to replace an existing bug-rated light that was incandescent. That one was 75 watts. I knew this would be not as bright probably, but it's supposed to be 100W equivalent; however, it can't keep up with my 75W one.

Other than that, it's fine. Just be warned. I also bought a Feit 13W that *seems* brighter, but it's in a different location, so that might be it. Not thrilled with this one, but at least it will save me some $$ in the long run (since it is in an overnight/auto on/off fixture).
