I purchased several of these bulbs and so far we are more than pleased. They are not obnoxious in any way. They do take a little bit to warm up, but they are worth it.

I have 3 sunken light fixtures in the kitchen for spot illumination. I replaced a 50 watt incandescent flood light bulb with one of these. It does the job but does not provide as much light as the other.

They don't outlast 8-10 incandescent bulbs as claimed. My experience they last about the same. I swapped out my entire house last summer, about 40 bulbs altogether, 5 are still working. So I'm back to using incandescents. I do recall ever replacing so many burned-out bulbs. I'm all for saving energy but more work on the technology needs to be done before I jump in again.
 Very pleased; brighter than a 65-watt equivalent January 2, 2008

Installed 10 of them as soon as they arrived. No problems so far after a week in use. There are a couple of things to note about this bulb that either isn't reflected in the product description or differs from my experience.
-- The box says the color temperature is, "soft white (2700K)". However, I found the color of the light to be a bright white -- perfect for task lighting. Also, I noticed a very slight variation in color of light among the 10 bulbs I installed. Though it's hardly a noticeable difference.
-- The bulb is slightly taller than the incandescent bulb it replaces (by about 8 mm). This causes the bulb to stick out of the recessed can a little more and potentially shine more light.
-- Though the description says it's equivalent to a 50-watt incandescent bulb, other sources say 15-watt CFLs are equivalent to 60 or 65-watt incandescent bulbs. In my case, these CFLs are a bit brighter than the 65-watt incandescent bulbs they replaced. (According to the box, the light output is 520 lumens.)
-- The product description also says this is an indoor/outdoor bulb. However the box says nothing about this. In fact, it cautions the user not to expose to moisture or water and that, "an enclosed fixture is required for outdoor use".
-- As other reviewers mentioned, they do take about a minute to get to 90% of full strength. Then another minute until fully bright.
Overall, I am quite satisfied with this Globe 15-watt R30 CFL bulb. Would have rated this bulb 5 stars if it could actually be used outdoors as I anticipated.

I ordered two of these to replace the bulbs in our bathroom. One of the bulbs lit up only very dimly when it was turned on, and a few minutes later, went out completely, and smelled of burning plastic. I quickly removed the bulb from the socket and found that it was hot and had become discolored. The other bulb is still working.
The color of the light from the other one is more sterile (green/white)than the incandescent bulbs I replaced, perhaps a better choice for a kitchen than a bathroom.
