We installed two CFL bulbs in lights that are used frequently -- one of which we
leave on every night. They've been in use for a
couple of months. They're both Commercial Electric model EDXO-23. The light is
a pleasing color -- not the cold, white light of
the units we have in Brazil. They illuminate instantaneously, reaching full
brightness in seconds. There is a very faint buzzing
sound which is only audible from about 2 feet away if the room is totally
silent. The label indicates they should not be dimmed.
These compare favorably in every aspect to the lamps we bought in Brazil. Those
are a very cold, white color. They take quite a
while to illuminate fully and they are noisier.
