This review is from: Sylvania 25986 9-Watt Compact Fluorescent B10 Light, 2 Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)
I just got this, so I don't know how long it lasts. Looks fine, does the job.
However, note that each bulb is 1 3/4 inches in diameter and a bit over 4 inches in length. That's quite a big bigger than the bulbs I'm replacing. Also, the bulbs are frosted, not clear. Worked for me, but YMMV.

This is my second set of lights. The first one lasted 6-7 monthes. Then they started to dim and keep flashing a little. I bought another set and it's been like 5 monthes now. I have a two light fixture mounted on a wall above the main door that gets you in the house. Well these lights work everyday from sunset until the morning. I keep them on so the house looks occupied at all times except mornings.
9-watts i believe are like 40W in Incandescent.
Regards,

The pros for this product are the 9w power usage, the small socket for ceiling fan use, and the nice bright light they produce. The down side is that they tend to flicker in my ceiling fans. They work perfectly in the outdoor fixtures (and they look much better than traditional cfl's). Usually turning the fan lights off then on fixes the flicker, but it is annoying (and does not occur with standard bulbs).
