They are ok, but not very bright. My favorite is the Lights of America Q-lite, available at Target and Home Depot. It's equivalent to a 75 watt, vs the 60 at OSH. Also, I think they are non-radioactive while the OSH Panasonics do have radioactivity, and the Q-lite turns on in a more attractive way. The Philips SL*18 is also nice but only the Home Club sells them and they are by far the most expensive product with no significant advantage over the Q-lite. I have four Q-lites in my bathroom. I used to object to CFs because they weren't bright enough (you can't get them in a 100 watt flavor) but I think I have solved that problem now with my 300 watts (equivalent) of light. -- seifert@asylum.sf.ca.us is responsible for the Ethernet slide latch.
