Bright Effects Globe CFL review 60 watt
Good Color, Good Size, Good Bulb
The Bright Effects 60 watt globe CFL is marked as a G25 bulb. It’s marked as having soft white light, but you have to look for it carefully. It has the Energy Star marking, and says it lasts for 7 years. The fine print says it’s warranty is for 2 years. Wattage is marked at 12 watts. My measurement indicates 8 watts.
The fine print says not to directly expose to the weather, and the usual about not using it with timers and dimmers. No mention of use in an enclosed fixture. The bulb itself says that if exposed to water, install it base up/ bulb down. The unit looks to be sealed.
I installed one in the exposed globe fixture in the bathroom, and – drum roll – my wife didn’t notice.
