Customer Reviews
Great product 
2007-06-12
We have slowly been replacing all of our bulbs as they burn out and have been very pleased with the quality and cost efficency of the new bulbs. We are seeing a significant decrease in our electric bill after replacing about twenty bulbs in the house.
Very Bright - Also Very Tall 
2007-06-12
This bulb is very bright and works great in the garage, but it is also very tall. It may not fit or it may stick up above standard laps/floor laps or other light fixtures.
Good light awkward size and shape 
2007-05-24
The strength and quality of the light is very good but the size and shape of the bulb make it very difficult to find a fixture where it can be used.
Bright, crisp, economic, but not cold. 2007-02-28
This is exactly what I needed. A bright, economical light bulb that would keep me awake for hours and diminish the eyestrain while I work on my computer all night, but without the cold, hospital-like blueish-white tint of other fluorescent light bulbs.
Great bulb, just check where you want to use it 2008-06-30
I've been using this bulb for months now and it works like a charm. It's bright, white and silent. The only thing to keep an eye out for, as others have mentioned, is it's size. It hasn't been a problem in my case; just make sure that where you want to use it has plenty of room for the bulb. It extends ~16cm (~6.5") beyond the socket.
Good lightbulb. Poor packaging. 2008-04-29
Two out of ten of these lightbulbs that I ordered were broken in the packaging. Amazon just threw them in a box and put a bunch of those air bags on top. I had to repackage the broken bulbs and send them back. Pathetic. Oh, by the way, The lightbulbs that weren't broken work very nicely. However, I won't buy lightbulbs from Amazon again.
Over-priced 
2008-02-09
I thought I was buying THREE(3) bulbs; I got one.
Bite myself, eh?
These bulb do NOT last 
2007-10-30
Bought 4 of the 40 watt bulbs (150 watt equiv.) to use in 2 different lamps. None of the 4 lasted as long as 60 days.
Check the small print 2007-07-11
These type of bulbs are great, but most of them owe some of their "shelf-life" to the mercury additive which is why you may have to follow disposal/recycling requirements in your community. Unless the bulb breaks, there shouldn't be a concern about the mercury portion of the bulb. I just thought it was a good idea to be fully informed. I saw a CNN story on it, and didn't believe it until I read the packaging - sure enough, its mentioned. I don't know if Globe's bulbs contain mercury or not, but as a consumer, you may want to check this out.
