Globe 230-Watt Flourescent Light

I agree with Betty Dravis and I wish I had her eyes for a bargain. "Betty Dravis Eyes", somehow sounds familiar. Well anyway these bulbs not only last longer they save a good deal of electricity. I have a hall light that seems like I was replacing it with conventional bulbs every couple weeks, a month at most. When I replaced it with a fluorescent bulb like this one it lasted 3 months at least and then the only reason I think it went out is the freight train that shakes the house after thirty years of rattling the rafters made the fixture flakey as a week old croissant.

"Green-up America!" These light bulbs are an easy way to start!

In preparation for Earth Day 2008, Amazon researched ways they could help "Green-up America." They put their buyers to work, scouting out the best, most economical, energy-saving products available. I'll share the results of their labor with you at the bottom of this review.

With this year's "Green" campaign, I decided to get serious and do more than I had already done: All my household appliance are energy-savers, I'm fastidious about picking up litter around my neighborhood and recycling; and am always conscious of our planet. So what else could I do?

Suddenly it dawned on me that I'd been meaning to replace all the light bulbs in my home with energy-saving fluorescent bulbs. When fluorescent lighting became available in the small bulb sizes, I was hesitant to use them, thinking they'd flicker and look unnatural like the ones I had in my office years ago. But I tried a few of them last year and was pleasantly surprised to find they don't flicker and the lighting is fine. At that time I thought of putting them all over the house, but procrastinated. ... Well, you know how that is. ...

Well, now I'm seriously "Greening," so that's why I purchased these today; it's the easiest, most practical "extra" thing I can do. I ordered these 100-watt bulbs for reading lamps and some of the 60-watts for other areas. And now I feel good about myself because CFLs use approximately 70% less energy than incandescent bulbs and produce the same light output. One CFL bulb lasts from 8,000 to 10,000 hours or up to 10 years. This saves money in energy costs and bulb purchases when compared to regular incandescent bulbs.

Following is the information I promised at the beginning of this review: Amazon is offering other "Greening" products, many of them on sale from April 21-23 at 50% price reduction. Today is the last day to save, so visit Amazon's Gold Box and Lighting Deals for "Greening" your home.

EARTH DAY was yesterday, but "Greening" is an ongoing process that must continually be addressed.

Same Brightness

Globe fluorescent spiral bulbs yield the same brightness as ordinary 100 watt bulbs. The light from these energy saving bulbs is nice and bright, and I like the fact that they last a lot longer than ordinary bulbs.
