100 year old technology by Barry Moore (Durham, NC, USA)  1 Stars
November 08, 2009
I'm not sure why anyone would buy an incandescent light bulb. They are pretty inefficient compared to the alternatives. They do not last as long as the alternatives and they are many times more expensive to run. In the short term they do have a smaller sticker price, but this is really misleading. A Compact Fluorescent Light CFL will last many times longer. Also in todays world of accelerating climate change we should all be striving to use less energy. Be smart and go buy some energy efficient CFLs instead!
In the United States, a CFL can save over 30 US$ in electricity costs over the lamp's life time compared to an incandescent lamp, and save 2,000 times its own weight in greenhouse gases.
For a given light output, CFLs use 20 to 33 percent of the power of equivalent incandescent lamps. Since lighting accounted for approximately 9% of household electricity usage in the United States in 2001, widespread use of CFLs could save as much as 7% of total US household usage.
If a building's indoor incandescent lamps are replaced by CFLs, the heat produced due to lighting will be reduced. At times when the building requires both heating and lighting, the heating system will make up the heat. If the building requires both illumination and cooling, then CFLs also reduce the load on the cooling system compared to incandescent lamps, resulting in two concurrent savings in electrical power.
While the purchase price of an integrated CFL is typically 3 to 10 times greater than that of an equivalent incandescent lamp, the extended lifetime and lower energy use will more than compensate for the higher initial cost. A US article stated "A household that invested $90 in changing 30 fixtures to CFLs would save $440 to $1,500 over the five-year life of the bulbs, depending on your cost of electricity. Look at your utility bill and imagine a 12% discount to estimate the savings.

Brings out the colors of woodwork by K. Neuheimer (Allentown, PA United States)  5 Stars
August 10, 2009
My home has an extensive amount of red oak woodwork. These bulbs make the wood look substantially deeper and richer. I think that a lot of the mixed reviews here are due to the environment where they are used. I can imagine that the difference is not as noticeable if they are used in a room with white walls and beige carpet. However, when it comes to bringing out the deep, rich colors of woodwork (especially darker woods) these bulbs make a major difference in my home.
Enjoy them while you can still get them - I don't know if GE will have an equivalent product when the U.S. ban on incandescent bulbs begins to take effect in a few years and we are only allowed to buy Obama bulbs.

Amazon sent the wrong bulbs by DesignerJR (USA) 1 Stars
April 08, 2009
I ordered 100 watt bulbs from Amazon and instead received 60 watt. I don't know why they didn't catch the error since I ordered 4 packs. I don't see where these bulbs are worth the extra cost.

Pleasing light by Nathan Beauchamp (Oak Park, IL USA) 5 Stars
February 26, 2009
I'm a fan of Reveal bulbs because they create a much more pleasing spectrum of light in a room and 'reveal' the colors that were distorted by the over abundance of the yellow spectrum in normal incandescent bulbs. I use them for all of my interior lighting (except for a few halogen floods) and they provide very pleasing 'mid day' light. This is a product that is worth the extra cost because the time you spend in your home (which for most people is a significant chunk!) can be dramatically improved with good lighting. To me its like spending the money to get a good monitor for work.
These 60-watt medium base bulbs are perfect for overhead lighting and especially enclosed 'globe' lights that require lower watt bulbs. They really do make a noticeable difference!

They are ok, but not enough to be worth switching out all the bulbs in my house. by Jason_m (Peabody, MA)  4 Stars
October 28, 2008
These bulbs appear a little whiter more like a halogen bulb, or about 3000k. Looking at different colored objects under these bulbs vs standard bulbs, colors are slightly brighter looking. Otherwise I don't seem to have a color preference for lightbulbs as I don't really care about such a small difference. I do just fine with standard bulbs. I do find they are dim and needed to get 75w to use in place of 60w. I got a pack at Wallyword for $2 just figured I'd try them out. I give them 4 stars just because they are lightbulbs and they make light as I expect, and I haven't had any early failures yet.
