The Soft White version is really close to an incandescent. I found that the bulbs that are bigger than the 15 watt(60 equiv.)are more practical as a work light. I have a 43 watt(150 equiv.) in my vintage kitchen fixture and now the kitchen is as bright as it's ever been.Steve Knoebberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573687752560584489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809154966623662341.post-35499041614946266512008-01-19T10:57:00.000-06:002008-01-19T10:57:00.000-06:00I keep reading about how ugly the light from CFLs ...I keep reading about how ugly the light from CFLs is, but maybe I'm lucky. Right now, I only have one CFL bulb installed, and that's in my little office lamp. It has a shade around it, so maybe that helps. But I don't have a grey/green pallor or anything like that...it's a nice, warm, yellowish glow, kind of like an incandescent. It's a GE energy smart 15-watt (60 equiv.) bulb, so maybe that's why. I've read in other places complaints about it too, though...maybe once I get more of them, I'll notice the difference...but this one seems fine.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14283888397129595640noreply@blogger.com
