3.0 out of 5 stars Safer Way to Buy, August 26, 2008

This review is from: GE 40184 Energy Smart 55-Watt 2-D Compact Fluorescent Bulb, 250-Watt Replacement (Tools & Home Improvement)

After reading the negative reviews of these sellers, I went back to the Energy Federation site where I bought my torchiere lamp. They can be found at EFI dot org and delivered me a genuine GE bulb that was identical to the one that came with my lamp. The price was about the same as these folks and it arrived in two days. If anything, it was over packed with lots of popcorn. It can be found with the pin-based lamps under the consumer division online shopping.

2.0 out of 5 stars Color temperature too blue, February 16, 2009

This review is from: GE 40184 Energy Smart 55-Watt 2-D Compact Fluorescent Bulb, 250-Watt Replacement (Tools & Home Improvement)

While the bulb works fine, the color temperature is way off (5000K?). The light output is bright, but it's too blue for use indoors. The original GE bulb had a much warmer color to it (about 2700K). Beware you are not getting a genuine GE light bulb here.

You get what you pay for.

It's a light bulb, what can I say ... it fits the funky torchiere that I own, arrived well-packaged in fine condition, and worked flawlessly.
