Lights of America Q-Lite 13w modular CFL
|
These have been pretty reliable CFLs over the years and the electronic adapters lasted through at least one or two lamp changes, even though I used them in fully enclosed fixtures. They are also compact enough to fit in most fixtures. I always preferred the replaceable lamp concept and the linear tubes vs. spirals so I really like these. They also are true programmed start vs. the PTC type that instant-start when hot, have high power factor (95%) and seem to be as bright as a magnetic 13w PL-C lamp+adapter. The lamp tube shown here appears to be Sylvania made, but the ones I have left appear to be GE's.

I agree with you though about the replaceable-lamp concept, the spiral CFLs are just such a wasteful, throwaway product IMHO.
