How warm or coolare these bulbs? Works with standard incandescent dimmers.Finally, a dimmable fluorescent bulb. When I saw these, I immediately bought some for my home, and I've been very pleased with the results. They are about the size of a normal 100W bulb (they are rated at 15w consumption and equal in brightness to regular 75w bulbs) and fit in many common fixtures.The small size of this bulb makes it ideal for use in a wide range of lighting fixtures that use standard incandescent bulbs.About the Bulbs• Energy Star Rated• Up to1100 Lumen light output (similar to standard 75W)• Uses only15W electricity (but gives out light equal to a standard 75W bulb)• Average life = 8,000 hours (many times longer than a standard bulb)* Kilowatt Hour Rate = $0.12. (very low-- 80% less than a standard bulb)• Energy Cost Savings from 8,000 hour life is $58.00! (very good economy)• Lasts up to 7 years under normal use. (based on 3-4 hours of use per day)• Perhaps using these bulbs represents a tangible step toward reducing greenhouse gases and the current trend toward global warming. We can certainly hope so.• At the end of their useful life, it is helpful to dispose of fluorescent bulbs properly.Earthday.net lists these reasons to switch to CFL's:If every household in the U.S. replaced one light bulb with a CFL, it would prevent enough pollution to equal removing one million cars from the road.By replacing four standard bulbs with CFLs, you can prevent the emission of 5,000 pounds of carbon dioxide and reduce your electricity bill by more than $100 over the lives of those bulbs.Replacing one incandescent light bulb with an energy saving CFL bulb reduced carbon monoxide emission to the atmosphere by 1,000 pounds.To maximize savings, use CFLs in places where lights are on for long periods of time. Frequent switching on and off will shorten the CFL's life.CFLs operate at less than 100° F, they are also safer than typical halogen bulbs, which are frequently used in floor lamps, and burn at 1,000° F. Due to their high heat output, halogens can cause burns and fires. CFLs are cool to the touch.CFLs provide the same amount of light (lumens) as standard incandescent bulbs, but have lower wattage ratings.Electricity production is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., and lighting accounts for about 25 percent of American electricity consumption. Standard incandescent lights are notoriously inefficient. Though CFLs cost more at the outset, over the life of the bulb they will save you money.If every household replaced its most commonly used incandescent light bulbs with CFLs, electricity use for lighting could be cut in half. Doing so would lower our annual carbon dioxide emissions by about 125 billion pounds. This action alone could halt the growth in carbon dioxide emissions from the United States, given recent growth rates.By installing CFLs in their most commonly used light fixtures, consumers will do good for the environment and for their own pocketbooks. If more households did this, we could take an important step towards protecting the planet from global climate change.The manufacturer includes these cautions: "Use in dry location only.
