Finally, a dimmable CFL that fits into the light fixture on my ceiling fan! This bulb is the same height as an incandescent light bulb, and so should fit into all regular fixtures without sticking out. Like all dimmable CFLs, it does not dim as much as an incandescent bulb, the dimmed light is a bit harsh, and there is a slight buzz at the lowest setting. However, that is typical of dimmable CFLs. The compact size is the selling point for me.

I was not shipped the same bulbs as advertised. I purchase the bulbs because they were advertised as having a "4.125" Maximum Overall Length." The bulbs I received have a 4.65" overall length and therefore do not fit my fixtures. Other than that, the bulbs are fine and can be used in other fixtures. But they are not what I ordered and not what I needed.

I bought six of these for family room lighting. When they were installed, two of them had a VERY LOUD BUZZING, another two were a different color... marked as 2700k but they were closer to 3200k. The last two worked ok. As far as being dimmable, not really so. They all flickered badly on two different types of dimmers and would barely dim before going out completely. I'm going to try to return them.

Your estimate for arrival was a bit off. I received my bulbs on the 18th instead of the 24th. Thanx for the promptness!
