I was tired of my kitchen light going out every few months, so I started looking around for longer lasting bulbs. Found these and they are great. Live in WA and not much light in winter so the natural light spectrum is great. Just replaced all my kitchen light with these, way brighter than the ones I've used from the big hardware stores. The one thing that I think is a Pro that might be a Con is that when you turn them on it take about 30 sec to reach full brightness. But I like it when you turn them on in the morning, it give your eyes a chance to adjust.

This would be a great product if it didn't take ten minutes or so to warm up and put out full light. The quality of the light is excellent, but waiting in near-darkness until it warms up is highly annoying.

No matter what our government says, compact fluorescent bulbs are not ready for prime time and probably never will be. They rarely outlast a much cheaper incandescent bulb, contain toxic materials, are too big for many fixtures and have numerous problems besides the warm up issue.

Another example of our stupid intrusive "special interest" government. I'm glad I purchased about 50 incandescent bulbs before the ban. Buy the time these are gone, LED bulbs will likely be practical and affordable.
