Opinions on various Bright Effects bulbs: |
Many areas have seveal retailers with these, for $1.00 or less |
Fluorescent Bulb is bad for your health. I heard it causes cancer. |
I re-lamped with these several years ago and none have gone bad yet.... |

Where can you get these for $.25? That's cheap, even Sam's or Costco have them for more than $1/each. |
For areas without subsidies from a power company, I've never seen the bulbs for less than a dollar. The cheapest I've seen before is around $11 for 8 bulbs from Costco. |

With an overall rating of 2.9 I wonder what people don't like about these? Features 3.3 - It's a light. Does it provide light? Does it raise the garage door? The quality rating is what is dragging the overall rating down. I wish Lowe's would let you write a real review instead of a rating. But then there's editing and whatnot so I do understand. |
$2-2.50 each for most non-costco places in San Antonio and Austin, TX |
All of the low priced ones are subsidized by the local electric compnay, packaging should state that. |

I have a bunch of CFL floods by FEIT that take like 2 minutes to "warm up" before they provide full brightness. Totally useless for use in the hallway where you want to really see where you're going as soon as you turn on the switch. I always see them on sale at my local Dixieline but I'm not buying FEIT CFL products anymore. |
only soft white or is there a chance for day light bulbs too? |

Here's a question: the $10 off a houseplant coupon, I've heard that it can be used on houseplants less than $10...does anybody know if it takes the discount off of just the plant or the whole order? If so, you could buy a plant less than $10, add in a couple of bulbs and give them the $10 off coupon and get it for free/next to nothing. Just a thought. |
pixiq said:Fluorescent Bulb is bad for your health. I heard it causes cancer. From Wikipedia: Broken CFLs release mercury vapors, and require special handling to clean up. The EPA warns against vacuuming, suggesting instead that you vacate the room and open windows for fifteen minutes to allow any mercury vapor to air out, then clean up the breakage while wearing protective gloves, and use double plastic bags for all broken pieces. They suggest using duct tape to pick up small pieces. FYI: By 2014 CFLs will be required by law to replace incandescent bulbs. Now, how healthy will that be? |
