I do have to agree with them where they said they're slow to warm up. The color is good but they definitely take a little bit to get to full strength. In my living room and kitchen I can only replace every other because it's too dim when you first turn it on with all CFL's.
That being said, a free bulb is a free bulb. Sweet!

Agreed, they are slow to warm, but once they do the light is great. Also, you'll hearing buzzing through any relatively nearby AM radios. (If anyone other than me still listens to the AM band.) I just moved the radio & it's all good now.
Thanks PML, I'll be at HD on Earth Day for one.
Awesome! A ton thanks.

Nice find. And there is a hony do list scheduled for the weekend that will include HD.
Thanks!
Cool!! Fight global warming with fluorescent bulbs, but please dispose of them properly since they contain mercury.
Thanks PML I just started changing my house over to these bulbs, and can always use a free one.
Solid OP. Thanks
I know traditionally that flourescent bulbs were NOT recommended in areas where you frequently turn the light on/off or where the light was only ever used for brief periods since they use alot of energy during startup compared to once they're already on. So, you were only supposed to use them in areas where the light was left on for long periods. Is that still the case with these newer models? My concern is that these CFLs are generally used in lamps and, at least for me, most of my lamps are only used for brief periods.
I was going to buy these until I saw the cost. I could buy 10 regular bulbs for the price of one of these.
Is this like 10 per store? Anyone know?
Upfront cost is definitely much higher with CFL bulbs, but over time they save you a ton of money. Check out this article, especially the .xls link at the bottom.
