Good Product,

This review is from: Feit Electric ESL13T/MAR-12 13-Watt Compact Fluorescent Mini Twist Bulb (60-Watt Incandescent Equivalent) (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have a garden tractor building that needed a light. It was going to be too expensive to have an electrician wire a light with 80 feet of buried cable to the building. I had a small solar panel and charge controller so all I needed was a garden tractor battery and this Feit CFL lamp. It works excellent with the battery power and gives me many hours of light before the battery would be completely discharged. The solar panel and charge controller keeps the battery fully charged at all times. I highly recommend this type bulb for similar applications where 110 volt commercial power is not readily availanle.

Definitely not worth the money,

This review is from: Feit Electric ESL13T/MAR-12 13-Watt Compact Fluorescent Mini Twist Bulb (60-Watt Incandescent Equivalent) (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have used 5 of these bulbs from a local retailer. The first time I purchased three bulbs at $9 per to run from a 12V battery at a remote hunting cabin. None of the three lasted more than 1.5 hours. I took two back for replacements ( I broke one on the return home) thinking something must be wrong with the bulbs as I double checked all my connections were clean, dry, tight and correct in polarity. One of the replacements lasted a few days at 3-4 hours per day and the other blew in minutes. I have repeatedly called/e-mailed FEIT electric all with no answer back. The only thing I've been able to find out is that the electronic circuits in the base are very sensitive to voltage drop and that they can pull up to 10 times their rated wattage at start-up. If the battery gets below 12.2 volts, the electronics will pop and the bulb is dead.

Low quality,

This review is from: Feit Electric ESL13T/MAR-12 13-Watt Compact Fluorescent Mini Twist Bulb (60-Watt Incandescent Equivalent) (Tools & Home Improvement)
If and when these bulbs are lit, they put out very pleasing incandescent-like light with sufficient brightness. I used four in my travel trailer, after installing regular light fixtures wired to 12v. (actually, I bought a pack of 6 bulbs) One bulb didn't work right out of the packaging. Another went bad after about an hour. A third went after a few days. The last three went when I started up the generator and the RV's charging system came on line. (though that appears the fault of the charging regulator applying too much voltage)
But in comparison, I have an assortment of LED lighting in my RV too, all of which function without fail, whether they are on battery, on generator, or connected to park power. So, I'm still looking for a quality 12v CFL You can read how I cut my RV's lighting power usage by 69% while retaining 96% of the lumens at [...].
