This review is from: Sylvania 29573 16-Watt 120-Volt Compact Fluorescent R30 Reflector Lamp with Medium Base, Warm White, 4 Pack # CF16BR304PKCVP (Tools & Home Improvement)
While it is far too soon (just 2 months) to determine the usual life of these bulbs, I can definitely say that these bulbs work as advertised.
Here's what I can say: they're light bulbs. If they work right, you never notice them. That's what you get with these babies. Plug 'em in and get bright light without any indication that these bulbs are different than their incandescent counteparts. The only difference you'll see is that there is a lag in time before the bulbs reach their full brightness when they have been off for more than a few minutes. That lag is about 45 seconds - 1 minute. This lag seems to be consistent with all of the recent CFL bulbs I have owned. If you're ok with the lag; you'll love these bulbs. There have been no dead bulbs in the two short months I have own these. Highly recommended.

High failure rate,

The bulbs seem about 25% brighter than a standard 75 watt reflector flood. The main problem is the failure rate. I purchased 16 bulbs and 2 failed in the first two days of use. If you are replacing 75 watt incandescent bulbs I would suggest a lower output bulb unless you need more light. The compact fluorescent bulbs do run much cooler and that is a big plus. Also, these bulbs don't work with a dimmer.

To quote my wife after swapping the original floods for these "I didn't notice". Once fully lit, we don't notice any difference, other than a lower electric bill, and they don't put out nearly as much heat. Please note the 'once fully lit' - they don't come on at full, it takes about a minute. I've seen this complained about, but I actually like it. When I get up in the morning and hit the hall lights, I don't get blinded. They start out about half-bright, and slowly warm up. I originally got 1 pack to try, and have since replaced all our indoor floods with these.
