Are these name brand bulbs? I ask because we recently were excited to find a package of very inexpensive compact fluorescents (not that cheap, but very cheap for the type of bulb) only to be very disappointed with the light quality. We have CF's in nearly every fixture that can take one in our place and generally can't complain about the light. But these sucked and sucked hard. We were replacing 40 watt bulbs with CF's that claimed to be 60 watt-equivalent...and the room was dimmer than with the 40 watts. Screw that.
We definitely got what we paid for in that deal
