5.0 out of 5 stars I like 'em, October 27, 2011

Only got two, but both are great. Nice color, and best of all, they dim almost all the way down. Using them in a living room ceiling light with a Lutron dimmer.

I'm discovering a lot of variation among various dimmable CFLs regarding just how dim they'll get; I got, elsewhere, some Bulbrite 15W R30 (small floodlight) format CFLs, and they only seem to go down to maybe 30-40% of full brightness, which is actually not quite dim enough for where I want it. Very few product descriptions, I have found, are explicit about just how dim a dimmable CFL will actually get. That's unfortunate.

It's frustrating trying to find just the combination I want, especially since "R30" CFLs are just regular coil CFLs in a floodlight enclosure.

Purchased three of these bulbs (Model BPESL23T/DIM) to use in a dimable chandelier, after about two months one of the bulbs burnt out. At 8+ dollars a piece not sure this is a good solution.

3.0 out of 5 stars not bad when they work, but high failure rate, August 20, 2011

I have 4 of these on the same dimmer and it took several trips to the orange box store to get 4 that would stay working. Fortunately, they usually die within the first few days, or they keep working. We're going on 3+ years of pretty consistent usage @ about 4 to 6 hours/day but I believe I had to return 5 failures before getting 4 that kept working. As other have indicated, these probably are not ready for prime-time, unless you have no other choice...
