 Useless October 9, 2008
I can't say enough bad things about this product. I bought an expensive three way lamp and was trying to be considerate of the environment by buying a fuorescent bulb. Unfortunately when I first screwed it in, it only worked on the middle wattage. The others flickered beyond usability. I even thought I could live with that, i mean, who really needs three different brightnesses on a lamp, but when I turned it off and tried to go to sleep, I found that it flicked light every 5 to 10 seconds. I even tried to live with THAT thinking it was probably my new lamp. No. I bought a regular three way bulb and it works fine. I then but the bulb in my gym bag to take to the office to send it back. It somehow managed to shatter even with the utmost care and caution so I can't even get my money back and also got a nice little dose of mercury to boot.
I don't know if it was the brand, the lamp being incompatable or what but I don't think I will be trying this again any time soon.
Buy Sylvania, not great but better May 8, 2008

Sylvania's 3 way is really not very good. Glob is worthless and I got 4. They are yellow (er than other compact fluorescents) and there are in fact a 2.5 way. There is very little difference between the middle and the high, which is about equil to a 75 watt light bulb. The Sylvania hits 100 watts of brightness and isn't as yellow. Glob is cheeper and not worth it.

I have yet to find a compact fluorescent bulb that gives out the same amount of light as the incadescent wattage bulb the manufacturers compare it to. And this is one of the worst.

There are 3 settings, one bulb, must vary voltage, difference in brightness for each setting is much less than for incandescent bulb.
Not worth the high price.

Essential for the environment, and a great long-term money saver. Also such a respite from changing light bulbs frequently...I'm not tall and that was a nuisance.
