Never thought I would be writing a review for light bulbs. But because of all the irrelevant, uninformed and nit picky negatives I am writing this one.Shipment came boxed and wrapped in double layer bubble wrap with no broken bulbs. All worked.Daylight CFL bulbs are normally very expensive compared to standard warm white or white CFL's. These 4 bulbs are a bargain delivered for $11 plus no sales tax. Most of you know that already.These are 5000K on the color spectrum which better reproduces daylight than the standard white at 6500K. These bulbs start-up the same as other CFL's in that it takes a few minutes to get to full brightness.Much more light than than standard warm white (2700K)Basics of CFL colors: 2700K is warm white, 3200-3500 is white. 5000K (this bulb) is the closest to daylight color, so it's bright natural white. 6500K is (bluish) white but higher on the visible light spectrum and not as good as the 5000K (daylight).Bulb life: I have been using CFL's for about 8 years now. I've used many brands from cheap to moderately expensive. All brands I've used have about a 10-20% failure rate after a month or 2. None last their rated life. Bulbs fail earlier when they are frequently turned on and off.These daylight bulbs can help with SAD (seasonal affect disorder) where the shorter days of winter and cloudy weather cause mild to moderate depression for many people.SAD (seasonal affect disorder)My first use of these bulbs is in the bathroom. I have a light fixture that takes 4 of these. WOW!! What a difference these make over the warm white bulbs. You can really can see yourself and skin color etc as you would look in natural daylight.The 4 bulbs (240W equivalent) will also help my SAD on workdays I have no time to sit in front of my SAD lamp. The wattage in my bathroom (240W) is high enough where I get a good dose of natural light every morning.I will buy this brand again if the price continues to be competitive and they are still available.Sold by: DEALS AND MORE Fulfilled by AmazonUpdate: I've been using these bulbs in my bathroom for almost 2 years. Still working great.

This is a four-pack of 14-watt (60-watt equivalent) CFL bulbs. The color is "daylight," which means it's very white compared with regular light bulbs.I recently bought a three-way CFL for my sewing room, thinking to save myself from having to switch burned-out bulbs all the time. I didn't realize it was "daylight," or what a stark difference it would make! Half my room was suddenly brighter and whiter, as if I'd grown a window in the corner of the room. Compared to normal light bulbs, it was like . . . well, night and day. As soon as possible, I ordered these 60-watt equivalent CFLs to place in the table lamps around the rest of the room. Now the whole sewing room is bright and airy, and I can rest assured that the colors of my fabrics are much more accurate when I photograph them.Just as a side note, don't be confused by the wattage equivalent. If your lamp is 40-watt, that does NOT mean you can only buy 40-watt equivalent CFLs. Wattage is wattage, so ignore the "equivalent" part and buy whatever kind gives the light output you need, so long as the total wattage is equal or less than your lamp's maximum. For example, my table lamps are 40-watt maximum. These CFLs are 60-watt equivalents, but they work just fine because they are actually 14-watts, much less than my lamps' maximum wattage. They are a bit brighter than the 40-watt equivalents, but that suits me fine. I actually needed more light in my sewing room, so I'm thrilled.Five stars, because they are bright and white, exactly what I was hoping for. Better yet, they'll save you money in the long run, because they don't use as much electricity and don't have to be replaced as often.

I think that we all have specific likes and dislikes, and that carries into the light bulbs that we choose for our homes. Some folks may prefer the warmer, yellow tones that traditional light bulbs provide, but my preference is to have a clear, bright light. I like to trick myself into believing that I am enjoying a bright, sunny day during the depths of the wet, grey winters that are the norm for where I live.When GE came out with their "Reveal" bulbs I was pretty excited, and soon had replaced all of the yellow light bulbs in the house. I had not found the perfect light bulb until I tried this most recent light bulb iteration, the 'daylight' ,5000k bulbs. I was finding that I could not see well in my bathroom and decided that I needed to try daylight bulbs in there. I needed 7 bulbs and ordered two packages of these Ecosmart bulbs to try. I have tried other brands of 'daylight' bulbs in the past and find them very pleasing, but the light that this brand provides seems to be a bit realistic and bright to me.Voila! I really could not believe that a simple light bulb could make such a difference. These bulbs tout that they provide true 5000k lighting, and they do! Truth in advertising. Amazing. What I was the most surprised at was that I replaced my old 60 watt bulbs with these and, aside from having a wonderful , true,'daylight' effect, the intensity of the new bulbs is amazing. It seems that I get much more light from these 60 watt equivalent bulbs than with any other that I have tried.Obviously, I cannot comment on longevity yet. I have not found that other brands last as long as they are 'supposed' to. Even if these don't last as long as they might I am so happy with the clarity of the light that I would buy them again.Simple pleasure for a simple mind. These are very effective and, if you prefer a daylight effect indoors then these are the bulbs for you to try.
