"Dead bulb when opened" 2010-08-23By
itbdatI've previously used this brand of bulb. While they don't last nearly as long as stated on the packaging, the brightness is great. I ordered two more when the same model of bulb died. The first one I installed has a delay when turned on, even though an existing bulb from this company is instantly on. I can live with the brief delay. However, when I needed to replace another bulb I opened the second bulb I ordered and it was dead - I tried it in two sockets and it was indeed a dead bulb. The deadline to return it to Amazon had just passed, so I contacted the company by email. I received no response. Based on this experience I would avoid purchasing any Feit product. Amazon offers a GE bulb with similar specs at a better price, so I've ordered two of these instead.
"See everything in the most ugly light possible." 2010-03-12By

Casts a hideous unnatural cubicle type glow throughout the house. Not the most romantic of glows. Good for dentistry and counting pores. If your mood is sterile and harsh, this is your mood lighting. Nurse Ratchet would approve of this item.
I just spent the last hour painting my light fixtures. It was the only way I could use this product.
"Feit 23W Mini twist" 2010-02-07By
Al Basha (USA)
This thing is a blast. Best energy saving light we ever had. When I bought this, I thought there would be 4 in the pack. So when I received it and found that there is only one, I was going to return it. But I thought since it's here, and I really hate to return items, might as well try it. I'm glad I did, it's really nice and it shins like no others energy saving lights. It's bright and pure white. I just wish it's cheaper and I would have replaced my entire house with these.
"Good for clones" 2010-01-21By

These are nice bright bulbs. They don't quite have the lumens required that are needed for good growth, the 200 watt version of these are better, but they are ok for new seedlings/clones. They don't put out the heat of typical HID bulbs, so a small cabinet can be used easily with only a small fan for ventilation. And then of course there is always the fact that they save me tons of money over typical HID lighting.
"White light, good quality CFL" 2009-09-01By
A. Dent (Minas Anor, GD)
Going with the Feit's 'daylight' CFLs is a matter of individual choice. I now prefer it but, like everyone else, I was conditioned to expect the more yellow light that resembled that produced by the incandescents.
The 23W fluorescents (100W equivalent) are easy to find in most brick and mortar stores. They are no longer 'expensive' when purchased as six-packs. However, sometimes you get what you are paying for and I found that many of the 'cheap' CFLs tend to burn out long before their coming even close to their many thousands of hours stated life expectancy. They also tend to produce what I would call a dull, yellow light. Feit's CFLs are more expensive but, based on my short experience with these and my much longer usage of Feit's 42-Watt Compact Fluorescent they appear to be longer lasting and they produce a steady, white light that I learned to prefer AFTER actually using them. Now, I'm a 'white light' person and I am beginning to purchase more Feit's to replace their more yellow cousins as they expire.
Talking about the item itself:
- you WILL experience some delay when you turn it on but it's hardly noticeable, like maybe 1/10 of a second
- once it's on, unlike the 'cheaper' fluorescents that need to warm up, it shines at or close to full brightness immediately
- it's not much wider or longer than a typical 150W incandescent - about 5 inches in length
- does not work well with a dimmer - it's either on or off [I tried it with one and it did come on at full brightness but something is telling me that you may shorten its life when used this way]
- the light is pretty close to 'white' but, unlike the fluorescent tubes, there is no flicker
- it consumes about 1/4 the power of the equivalent incandescent
The above were my subjective comments. Here are the specs, as the manufacturer lists them:
- Light output: 1600 lumens
- Energy used: 23W
- Life: 8000 hrs.
- Color temperature: 6500K
- Length: 4.8"
So far, I see no reason not to award this bulb 5 stars but, if it dies on me before 2-3 years, I promise to come back and update my review. For the record, the maker promises a 7-year lifespan and some $75 savings per bulb.
