4.0 out of 5 stars Great Light but..., January 28, 2004

By 

John Kwong (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Panasonic EFG25E50 Capsule Collection 25W Compact Fluorescent Lamp (Globe Shape) (Tools & Home Improvement)

The light from the bulb is excellent, the warm light feels like day light, while the Verilux daylight really feels too strong on the blue spectrum to me, at least I don't see the same color under the sun light.

The Panasonic bulb is great except it takes a while to reach full brightness(like 20 sec. or so). and it starts very dim. The 15w looks like a 20w. incandlescent for the first 5 sec. if you have not turned on the light for a while(10 minutes). which might annoy some people. Yet I don't have problem with other bulb flourscent light with such a long delay such as Verilux.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice bulb w/some flaws, January 24, 2006

We have used the EFG25E50 bulbs for years. The optional reflectors make a huge difference in the lighting effect. However, these bulbs could have been engineered better: they take several seconds to reach maximum brightness, the brightness deteriorates dramatically when the bulb is about to fail, and the 10,000 hours rated life is way off. Our longest lasting bulb was about 6,388 hours (7 hrs/day x 365 days x 2.5 yrs), and that's a generous estimate. Panasonic never responded to our inquiry. We still use them because they are nice and have come down in price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Compact Flourescent replacement for globe bulbs, July 27, 2003

I bought 5 of these at Home Depot to replace the 60 watt globe bulbs in my bathroom. I was really torn between these and another brand that was about half the price and had a rebate on top of that. However the Panasonic was definately the most attractive of the two with the smallest lowest profile base I have seen on any CF bulb. Also the Panasonic is truly the most globe shaped and once installed it's difficult to tell it's not an incandescent. The bulb turns on instantly with no flicker.

One thing that is kind of nice is that when you turn it on it starts at about 60% brightness then gradually brightens to full strength in about 20 seconds. It appears to put out a bit more light than the 60 watt incandescents I was replacing. The light is warm like an incandescent. The fact that it uses 75% less energy than a 60 watt incandescent is a real plus in a household where the kids like to leave every light in the house on.

What with Southern California Edison and Gray Davis charging 300% more for the same electricity from two years ago, every little bit helps.
