Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I ordered a BUNCH of these bulbs to replace my dying crop of original CFLs in my home that had lasted 5 years. I was hoping for both nice, consistent lighting and energy savings. I got both...for about 6 months. Then they started dying. They would blink and strobe at first, and then they would die. These bulbs, that are supposed to last 22 years...started DYING after SIX MONTHS. Now I'm really annoyed because it's next to impossible to get a perfect soft white color match from one brand to the next...so, I either have to just keep buying this garbage from Philips to match with the rest and keep replacing the dying bulbs; or, I have to replace the whole slew of bulbs. Oh, and don't bother with the warranty. Amazon just sends you a link to the Philips web site. You're on your own. Don't buy these bulbs.
