I like the bulbs and they work well. Price was very good. Only giving 3 stars because only 5 work. One was dead on arrival. Reviews for other bulbs by the same maker seem to also have a DOA problem. Overall I might buy again but would figure price for 5 bulbs, not 6.

These are wonderful CFLs! They are 12/22/33 watt CFLs with light output equivalent to 50/100/150 in incandescents. All 6 were delivered in-tact, none broke in shipment like many other cfl packs I've bought (each bulb is individually packaged in its own box, inside of a larger box).I use all 6 of them in pedestal lamps around my home and office. 3 of them are constantly on, and have been for about 6 months now, putting them around 4,500 hours of usage. The other ones are used less often. None of them have failed, dimmed, or shown any indication of premature failure.
I like having low lighting in my office for the most part (12w mode), then the ability to switch up to 33w whenever I need to. Such an improvement over having single wattage cfl's that I've used exclusively in the past. It also saves more energy, because you dont always need the extra wattage/brightness so you can turn it down during normal activity. Of course you pay for it in premium for purchasing the bulbs, so cost savings I don't know if it's there. I paid a little under 30 bucks for these bulbs, which makes the 5 a piece fairly expensive for a CFL. However, if they do last the 10k hours, then I would say they last longer then most CFL's as well (maybe by twice). So far the failure rate is lower then a few other packages of bulbs I've tried on here from Amazon.
All in all a great bulb, and very functional 3-way adjustment that is well worth the up-front premium.
