They are designed to be closer to "full-spectrum" lights than ordinary light bulbs. Is that something you need or want?

Save your money, buy regular bulbs. I didn't notice any big difference.

I like them. Plus I have a good bit of GE stock, so you should definitely buy as many GE lightbulbs as possible.

Try 'em before you buy a bunch. I got one free with a pack of bulbs and I personally didn't like the color temperature so it went back into the box.

I like the light they give out, but they aren't as bright as regular light bulbs of the same wattage.

it's dimmer than a regular(60wattvs60watt) bulb, I have full spectrum(as close as you can get) reptile fluorescent light tubes, it's no where near what it looks like. I'm not going to buy anymore

and i dont think its a color temp thing. The glass has a coating that filters out the dulling yellow light and makes colors brighter

That's right. It doesn't produce a different color of light, it merely filters light. And they burn out too quickly. |

The thing about those bulbs is that if you have a shade on the lamp that is not pure white you still get a yellow light. I bought some when they first came out, I still use but that is because they are still burning but I won't be dropping any more cash on them.

I've been using them in everything. I like the whitish light vs the yellow. I also use the (don't know the name) flourescent tubes that give a whiter light. They make std. cool whites look totally yellow side by side. Besides, the more natural color is supposed to help with depression. And I need it!

I notice a less dingy yellow too. Look better. |
