I just received my 8-pack of the soft white bulbs, and I'm so thrilled with them! I started changing to compact fluorescent bulbs and my electric bill did start going down! It's easier to see the savings now that I'm no longer running the air-conditioner. I was gradually introducing them into my home, and my October bill was about 25%-30% lower than last year at that time. I've been trying different brands, hoping to achieve lighting that more closely resembled incandescent bulbs. I'm not a fan of the cool fluorescent lighting and it seems like every brand has its own take on this. Okay, these bulbs are PERFECT for me. They look soft and warm, they are sized in a way that is more compatible with my lamps and fixtures. They even light up quickly (some fluorescent bulbs take a couple of minutes to brighten completely). Anyway, these are exactly what I was looking for and I'm going to get another set of 8 so I can upgrade even more of my home! Also, this is a GREAT price.
I bought these for one purpose. January 12, 2008

I have tread lights on my stairs in my house. They are needed to light up the very dark staircases, so they are on from dusk until bedtime (or longer if the kids leave them on). Each tread light receptacle requires two (not to exceed) 25watt bulbs and to access them to change them requires unscrewing the covers off of the fixtures.
I bought these bulbs for the following reasons: a) one of them will replace both of the incandescent bulbs and b) they last longer, so the hassle of changing them will be less and c) the light output, which by the way, is pretty close to a typical soft white incandescent bulb, is good enough for the tread lights and d) I get an effective 10 more watts of light output for 37 watts less consumption (so there is more light on the stairs for safety reasons and I feel greener).
I have not used them in lamps, etc so I cannot comment on their effectiveness in those applications, but for what I bought them for, they work well.
They are roughly the same size as a typical 25watt bulb.
Good product January 31, 2007

These bulbs are rated 8000-10000 hours, as good as brand name and more expensive ones. I have installed 5 of them and they look good so far. I'll definitely stock up these bulbs and swap out all of the remaining conventional and more energy consuming bulbs.

Switching from incandescent to compact flourescent bulbs is a significant energy saver, and long-time money saver. These minis are great because the base is small enough that lamp hasps which won't fit over base of regular compact fluourescent will often fit over these. Not a lot of light, but only 13 watts of energy burned.
Way too expensive on Amazon January 7, 2008

Call your local Ace hardware, find out when these will be on sale for $1 each. You can't go wrong spending a buck a piece instead of $3-4 everywhere else.
