 Works March 3, 2008

Works perfectly, saves money, is smaller than higher watt bulbs, and Amazon ordering and service is second to none. Would definitely order again.

This is an awesome product. I haven't had them long enough to tell how long they last, but it has been around 2 months and they are still going strong. I got these because regular bulbs just go out so fast in our lights for some reason. These are an awesome replacement.
The only thing I didn't realize when purchasing is that they don't work very well with a dimmer. Regular bulbs will just dim out gradually, these dim out but in big leaps; from a lot of light to a little in one notch. Other than that they are compact and worth the purchase so far.
 Don't Like Them February 8, 2008

I don't like the light that comes out of these bulbs. I don't like it at all and it makes my head hurt. Yes, they're good for saving money but NOT good in the amount/type of light they show. I wouldn't buy these again.

You will be happier with the ULTRA mini. Trust me. Most lamps that use 60 watts incandescent bulbs are smaller and/or have less shade space. And the "minis" ain't all that mini - I have had to use the ultra-minis on lamps that used to use 3-ways. And the soft white ultra minis I have bought are brighter than the incandescent equivalent (closer to 75 watt).
I "know" from compact fluorescents as we 95% converted 6 months ago (only one incandescent left). You'll get used to them in a very short time.
Ultra minis were selling on Amazon for a LOT less than this (price is total rip-off).
I bought these for one purpose. January 12, 2008

I have tread lights on my stairs in my house. They are needed to light up the very dark staircases, so they are on from dusk until bedtime (or longer if the kids leave them on). Each tread light receptacle requires two (not to exceed) 25watt bulbs and to access them to change them requires unscrewing the covers off of the fixtures.
I bought these bulbs for the following reasons: a) one of them will replace both of the incandescent bulbs and b) they last longer, so the hassle of changing them will be less and c) the light output, which by the way, is pretty close to a typical soft white incandescent bulb, is good enough for the tread lights and d) I get an effective 10 more watts of light output for 37 watts less consumption (so there is more light on the stairs for safety reasons and I feel greener).
I have not used them in lamps, etc so I cannot comment on their effectiveness in those applications, but for what I bought them for, they work well.
They are roughly the same size as a typical 25watt bulb.
