Product Reviews
 (1 stars) - Bad Bulbs
They're nice until they stop working. And they stop working (on average) within 3-7 months. Sometimes, they're bad right out of the box. The only dimmable CFL manufacturer comparable/worse than ULA is Feit.
 (3 stars) - Limited Life
While most of them are great and do dim down to 30 % or so, I have had 2 lamp failures out of the 18 that we use in our home. The units that failed were the cfl spiral, but all 6 par floods are working just fine. Two out of 12 is too high a failure rate, but for now the next step is too expensive for me which would be LED lighting that is not dimmable.
 (2 stars) - Dimmable flourescent bulbs
These sounded positively too good to be true, a flourescent bulb that dims! While this is true the 10,000 hour life time promised by theses type of bulbs is a pipe dream. I did not get more than two months out of any bulb, they hummed, and they are toxic. You can't just throw them away they contain mercury. The minus's and the headaches of constantly changing the bulbs and finding somwhere to dispose of these is NOT worth the savings in energy!
(2 stars) - Good dimming range, annoying noise
I have recently bought this brand of bulb and two others. These ULA bulbs are probably the best for dimming smoothly over a wide range from bright to dim, although they still won't go as low as incandescents. Unfortunately, I can't use them in most rooms because of the noise they create. It is audible even at full power, and gets louder as the bulbs are dimmed. If you have a room where there is background noise all the time, these will be okay, but my house isn't like that.
The other brands? GE was much quieter, but had a very limited dimming range. Sylvania was the best compromise for me - much quieter than ULA and much better dimming than GE.
(1 stars) - very high failure rate
Bought these for an open dining room light with four bulbs (I had purchased 8 bulbs to place extras in other fixtures)
Within a couple weeks all 4 bulbs failed, so I put the extras in there.
Now a couple months later, 2 of the 4 have failed.
Since I really want to go with CFL, will try another manufacturer, but do not recommend these
