A 13W CFL is equivalent to a 60W regular incandescent bulb. It uses less energy, and helps protect the environment. Depending on your kWh rate, you will enjoy significant dollar savings per bulb!
Globe's Ultra Mini size fits most fixtures that require a standard medium base regular incandescent bulb.
As an Energy Star® certified product these bulbs meets Energy Star® guidelines for energy efficiency.
The lifespan of one Globe Enersaver® bulb is 8,000 - 10, 000 hours and will outlast 8-10 regular incandescent bulbs.
Delivery was fast. The 13-watt is a little dim, but will get the 23-watt the next time.
Read this to know the best energy efficient light bulb to get:
I've searched for the best bulb, tried maybe 5 different brands and the best ones to get are from "N:vision". They turn on right away even though it doesn't say that on the packaging and the light is a soft glow. The ones that say that they turn on right away have a sterile glow to them, and most others (e.g. Globe) have about a 2 second delay for turning on after you flip the switch.
Hope this helps,

Watch your incentives....:
In Arizona, local retailers sell these bulbs for under a buck.... check for local incentives from your energy company!
NOT long lasting!:
I was so excited to find these mini lights that fit our kitchen recessed fixtures. I ordered them in May, and less than 3 months later, every single one has burned out. WAY too short a life, and WAY too expensive. A good idea if only they'd be longer lasting.
