I'm totally in favor of saving energy and the environment using compact fluorescent bulbs, but I can't recommend this particular one. It supposedly delivers the lumens of a150 watt bulb, which is a lot for a compact florescent, but unfortunately, I found this 40 watt model only slightly brighter than the 23 watt models (100 equivalent) from GE and Sylvania. Also, it is very large -- it wouldn't fit in two of my standard lamps. It is a compact, but you need to look for a compact "mini twist" to fit a typical living room lamp with a shade. Also, the light is rather yellow, even for a compact florescent. So far I have been most happy with Sylvania and GE products. I would try those first.
 Great bulb, just check where you want to use it June 30, 2008

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. April 29, 2008
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.

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.
