I haven't really done much with these lights yet, just unpacked one and took a few photos with one bulb. White balance is coming in at very close to 2700K. I wish these had CRI rating, but I can't complain for a sub one dollar product. So far very worth the price. Will continue on later with a bank of these bulbs and see how it preforms then.
compact CFL replacement lighting August 20, 2010

These CFLs give off a nice warm, golden light. I have them in several places around the house including the bathroom and find them a better alternative than LED lighting at present. Great value as well.
a great deal at this price . . . August 15, 2010

Prices at Amazon often fluctuate, but $6.99 for an eight pack of CFL's (compact fluorescent lamps), is a very good price, especially if you get free shipping. These 13W lamps are very small, only 1.5 inches in diameter, and 3.9 inches high (not including the screw in base). This smaller size lamp is ideal for use with light fixtures with a diffuser or lens, where the compartment for the lamps is small.
Lamp color is measured in degrees Kelvin, and these are rated at 2700 degrees K. Color perception varies from person to person, but these lamps are on the "warm" side, closer to incandescent light, and nicely suited for home use. The light output from a 13W CFL, is roughly equivalent to a 60W incandescent lamp, and unless used in tandem, are probably best suited for general use applications.
These particular lamps are manufactured in China. Rated life is 8000 hours (approximately 333 days), with an initial output of 825 lumens. Lamp life is based on performance under ideal conditions in a testing lab. Turning a lamp on and off, shortens its life, and actual lamp life is almost always shorter than the rated life. Even assuming you get as little as 80% of the rated life, 87 cents per lamp is still a pretty good deal.
 great price for these bulbs August 12, 2010
Jason A. Greer (the Carolinas)
The price for these bulbs is comparable, if not better, than just about any home improvement store's prices.
I needed to replace some hot burning, incandescent bulbs in a light fixture in my dining room.
These burn much cooler and the softer light for a dining room is very effective.
I would not recommend these bulbs for reading with though.

There is really no other place to pick up an 8 pack of these for this price. They come from a name brand company and they are more beneficial for everyone. It not only lasts longer than incandescents but also costs less to light. The size of them may be an issue for some if you are placing these in tight places, since they do stick out maybe a mm or two more than its incandescent equivalent. I would definitely recommend picking these up and replacing all those money spending incandescents anyone has around their house.
