Excellent replacement for regular bulb November 5, 2009
JAF (Southern, CA)

We love the light from this bulb. As with all of these energy efficient bulbs you need to wait a small amount of time for the true level of light to be achieved and that is the case here with each of the three levels of light. You do not need to wait for each level and can easily just switch to the highest level immediately and then it comes up to the brightest for that level in just a quick amount of time. I'm so used to it now that I barely notice the warm up period but I definitely enjoy the brightness (just exactly as bright, or a little brighter, than our old 50/100/150 bulbs) and I will be enjoying the benefits of a lower electricity bill for years to come. Highly recommend! We are back now to buy a couple more so all the three way lamps in the house will be energy efficient.

P.S., as far as the size of the bulb, yes, these energy efficient bulbs are all slightly larger than normal bulbs. However, I have not replaced any lamp harps and have had not trouble fitting the bulbs into our lamps.

disappointing quality October 30, 2009
Donald Henderson (Seattle, WA USA)
Of the five bulbs that I have tried so far two of them had the intermediate setting burned out or non-functional. Next time I am heading for my local home depot. Don't waste your money!

Working great so far October 1, 2009

When screwing these 3-way CFL's into my lamps for the first time, I couldn't help but notice how they were slightly taller then the blubs they replaced. But, luckily, they just fit, so I didn't have to get bigger harps for my two lamps to get around the height problem. In any case, make sure that your lamp can take a 6.3" CFL, because you might have to upgrade the harps in your lamp to compensate for the slightly bigger height.

Anyway, I got these to replace two Sylvania 3-way CFL's that crapped out on me. They're working great so far. They give off a soft & warm white light, not the ugly bright type that standard CFL's give off. Will update this review with a progress report in a couple of months.

BTW: I've read a couple of reviews that suggest users of 3-way CFL bulbs should, on a somewhat regular basis, use all three settings on the bulbs to try to prevent the flicker problem and ensure the bulbs themselves have a long life. Try it. It can't hurt.

Great idea, poor design. September 12, 2009

We bought one of these about a year ago for our free-standing living room lamp. When we got it home, it would not fit due to the cradle that holds the shate being too small. I found a larger cradle and installed it along with the bulb, and everything worked fine. We used the lamp for about two hours in the early morning only. In three months, it burned out. I no longer had the receipt, so I just ate the $10 loss on that one and went to incandescent. I noticed the incandescent had a bit of a flicker when turned on, so I replaced the socket assembly and it then worked fine. Then I got thinking that maybe this flicker is what caused the short life span of the 3 way CFL, so decided to try ANOTHER $10 GE 3-wya CFL. I bought it yesterday, screwed it in and tested it - it worked fine.
This morning, I turned it on LOW and started computer work.'
It failed in about 30 minutes.

I have owned TWO of these, and the average life span of the two is six weeks at two hours a day - 84 hours.

Wonderful 3-way bulbs! September 3, 2009
Joanie A. (Falls Church, VA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I am so thrilled that they came out with energy efficient 3-way light bulbs! These are terrific and I couldn't be happier. There is one word of caution. These bulbs are very large so be sure to measure the height between the socket and the finial. I have nine 3-way lamps for which I purchased the bulbs. The new bulbs fit perfectly into 5 of them. The simple solution for the other lamps was to visit a lamp supply store and purchase new harps for the other 4. (The new harps cost only $1.65 each.) The new bulbs are working very well, and I think you will enjoy them.
