Fantastic light bulbs. 
2007-10-17
I have these in almost every lamp or ceiling fan in my home. They work very well. I recommend them highly to anyone who is looking to purchase these.
poor quality 
2007-10-12
One of the bulbs was DOA and the other two burnt out within days of being installed. My GE CFLs have lasted for years. Would never purchase these again.
Save yourself money and time by getting a better quality bulbs at Home Depot for less than $2 a bulb.
Edited to add: Globe is a generic CVS product for those interested.
Also, compact doesn't really describe these bulbs- they're huge, and stuck out of recessed lights and didn't fit into a number of standard lamps. I ended up buying minis at Home Depot to replace them-and haven't had a single burn-out.
Energy Savings vs. Amazon Shipping 
2007-09-16
The lightbulbs were exactly as stated. This was supposedly a "Deal of the Day" but [...] ended up charging me [...] shipping for a [...] item!
This policy is obscene and off to [...] I go!
Outstanding Value, Outstanding Price 2007-09-16
I bought two packs of bulbs as an energy conservation measure. I have 3 used outside for night lighting, the others inside for mainly reading lights. Great price compared to retail home stores. I would buy again.
Nice clean white light 2007-09-13
These take a second or so to illuminate, which I kind of find a plus, not instant bright ligth. I enjoy the clean white light they give off. I bought 2 packs, one lamp did not work. Really not worth the energy savings to return the bulb. And even though these are compact, they will NOT work in all applications.
Since the one lamp did not work, I have questions about how long they will last.
Quality and Design issues 
2007-11-24
I have used 4 of the 6 that I ordered. The light is clean and bright, and not harsh. And it was the cost-savings and environmental benefits that compelled my purchase. However, one of the four bulbs was defective--it burnt out on the 3rd day, after less that 5 hours of use. And the dimensions of these lights are much longer than conventional bulbs, so they stick out from our kitchen's recessed lighting fixtures as well as the sconce that illuminates the driveway. I would recommend finding alternatives closer in length to conventional bulbs.
Works great. 2007-11-21
Bulbs work great. Only problem is it takes a short (very)time to turn on.
Works well 2007-11-15
This product does what I expected it to do so I am pleased with it.I don't know if it is cutting my elec bill,I do feel that I have saved some energy by using these bulbs and I see no down side in it for me.
compact is the wrong description 2007-10-24
I don't know about how long they last, but they are the largest compact fluorescent bulbs I've seen. I only use them in a few places, because they don't fit well under lampshades and ceiling fixtures with standard globes.
It's a good price if you can use very large "compact" fluoresent bulbs.
Time will tell

I put a date with permanent ink on the installed bulb. We'll see if it last 7 yrs.
