Customer Reviews for EcoSmart 300W Equivalent Soft White (2,700K) Twister CFL Light Bulb

Bulb works well, as advertised. Very bright, but it's a large, heavy bulb to get this many lumens out of a CFL. There is no humming sound either. I can't believe it's been discontinued!

Finally a CFL with strong illumination with just 68-WATTS of power!! It's too fat to fit in a reflector but it doesn't really need one. Great for garage, storeroom, and patio lighting.

This 2700k bulb promotes plant flowering. It's a very efficient bulb compared to using incandescent spot lighting. Low heat footprint. Place the bulb within 3" of a plant for maximum use of the light. My tomato plants are huge!

This is the brightest CFL I've ever seen and perfect for the garage. It's 20 degrees in my garage right now and it starts up immediately. However the full warm-up time is extended in these low temps.

I purchased five of these thinking I could replace the 300 watt incandescents in my garage. Should have researched this a bit more before buying. It seems that the incandescent bulbs I have been using(GE, Phillips) emit about 6000 lumens. These are rated at 4200. Guess I could simply wire in more medium bases, but at this cost per bulb, the tab is getting steep. I also tried HomeDepot's EcoSmart 100w equivalent cfl's in the same fixtures. The 100w seem to put out about the same amount of light.

Very large, but also very bright. It takes 1 to 2 seconds for the bulb to turn on (~80% bright) and ~5 minutes to reach it's full brightness. I bought several and I love them, a huge cost saver!

i wanted to brighten up a big space in my house and save me some money, this was perfect! it does take a while to warm up to get its brightest but thats how all the energy saving bulbs are

I agree that this bulb is quite large. But it's also marvelously, wonderfully, ridiculously bright. A 68 watt consumption is an 82 watt savings over the 3x Halogen fixture this replaced, while filling the room with much more light. The color temperature is warm, almost feels like an incandescent. Great light bulb if you can make the space: It's 8 1/4" high and 4 1/2" in diameter.

Four stars because the idea of using only 63 watts for 300 watts of light is brilliant, so to speak. Not five, because the specs aren't clear about the size. The bulbs are huge- more suited for a grand-entrance fixture than a livingroom lamp. The bulb is more than 8 inches tall. I had to return them, which was a painless process, btw. Kudos for that, HD.
