Customer Reviews

GE Energy Smart Floodlight bulbs
The bulbs emit light at least as bright as our old incandescents for far less wattage and heat. Our only adjustment is they come on dim and need a minute or so to brighten up. Leaving one strategically placed incandescent bulb per room to come on immediately helps that problem.
One bulb arrived broken, and replacement was quick and highly satisfactory.

Great product but...
This is a great product provided you can live with the fact that it takes maybe 30 seconds for the bulb to get to full brightness which is common with this type of bulb. Also, the bulbs seem a lot brighter than the 65 watt equivalent advertised which can be either good or bad depending on what you're using the bulbs for. These bulbs do not buzz or flicker like the similar ones I bought years ago.

Bulb is just OK
Just bought this bulb at Target to replace a kitchen recessed light bulb - 65 Watt. The light output is no different than the old bulb. The drawback is the slow startup, about 30 seconds. Do not use this bulb if it is the only light source in a room. In my mind, stumbling in the dark is not progress. A light should come on when you flip the switch.
