Amazon.com Product Description
Sylvania 23-Watt Compact Fluorescent Mini Twist Soft White Light Bulbs are not only energy-efficient money savers, but they're also high-quality light producers. Unlike some CFLs that can be harsh and glaring, these bulbs provide a soft white light for a pleasant atmosphere. With six bulbs included, this pack is great for replacing all of the old, inefficient incandescent light bulbs in your home.
Energy-Efficient Bulbs Save You Money
Though these Sylvania Compact Fluorescent Mini Twist Soft White Light Bulbs only use 23 watts of energy, they produce 100-watt light quality. This means you get maximum light output using the minimal amount of electricity, which can reduce your electric bill for real savings. Each 23-watt bulb saves $61.00 in energy costs over its average rated life (8,000 hours), compared to a 100-watt (1,000 hours) incandescent bulb.

Environmentally Friendly, Energy Star Rated
Not only can these CFL bulbs help save money on your energy bill, but they can help save the environment. Because they use less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, they help reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, air-borne mercury, and other harmful pollutants. In addition, their long life span means fewer replacements, a reduced demand for raw materials, and lower recycling costs.
In recognition of their energy-saving design, Sylvania Mini Twist bulbs earned the Energy Star label. Products that earn the Energy Star prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Summary: Worse than conventional liaght bulbs 2010-05-09
Comment: I recently went through the entire house and replaced all interior bulbs with these "Super Savers" BIG MISTAKE! I am going back and replacing the burned out ones more often than conventional incandescent bulbs. The only thing it is maybe saving on is trips to the store to buy more bulbs as I had a few extra on hand. Sylvania can put these where the sun doesn't shine. I hate 'em!! Will never buy these again!

Summary: Poor Packing broke the bulbs 2010-03-16
Comment: I did not get a chance to use the bulbs because I left them in the blister pack and returned them. Whoever packed the box put it in a box with only one wrap of bubble wrap, and a lot of loose space in the box. One bulb was broken. I read other reviews that said the same thing. Lately, orders from Amazon have not been packed very well. I am very disappointed.

Summary: I prefer a whiter-bluer lignt 2010-03-13
Comment: I gave it a "four" review because it is as advertised. I find the light to be a little yellow, but, I am apparantly in the minority on this. I may buy a whiter-bluer light next time.

Summary: 24 Hour Life 2010-01-13
Comment: About a week ago I decided to finally give a CFL a try. After all, we will soon no longer be allowed to purchase incandescent bulbs. I went to the store and picked one out (why buy a 6-pack if I don't know if I'll like it). It was a Sylvania 23-watt bulb that was claimed to last 10,000 hours and produce the same number of lumens as a standard 100-watt light bulb. I carefully thought this through--in my application it would be burning 7 hours a day and would save about 1 penny per hour in electricity. This meant that the $5.00 (plus tax) bulb need last fewer than 600 hours to pay for itself. Free light bulbs! Why is legislation required to force people to save money? It made no sense to me. The only drawback I could see was that it contained mercury--about four milligrams (although in government documents this four milligrams magically becomes 0.6 mg when the bulb is landfilled).
When I arrived home from the store that evening I marked the date on the base of the bulb (1/4/10) and smugly replaced the 75-watt bulb with the new, money-saving one. When it finally burned out (in about four years) I would be able to congratulate myself on how much money I had saved. When I turned the bulb on it took a second to light up (not bad) and had a very harsh white light (not good--but I can live with it).
On the morning of January 8th, 2010, I arose at my usual hour (4 AM) and turned on the light. For some reason it only gave half of its usual illumination. It was a cold morning (60 degrees in the bedroom); perhaps it simply needed to warm up. Minutes later, with a popping noise, it expired. The bulb had given 24 hours of service. Is this is why they haven't caught on?
