At one point we replaced most of our incandescent bulbs with the compact fluorescent bulbs.
* They were dimmer * They took a while to attain their full brightness after they were turned on,
* They didn't last as long as we expected
Perhaps we should have tried higher wattage bulbs or a different brand. Our earlier ones (from several years ago) were like yours. But the newer ones are much better, and most of ours are now CFLs.

I noticed a difference between the ones I put in my living room almost two years ago and the one I put in my bathroom a couple of weeks ago.
