“CFL’s are not “INSTANT ON AT FULL LUMINENCE”.”
I am well aware of that slight hesitation but you repeatedly hammered the 15-30 seconds for some odd reason in post after post.
If you are having to deal with an up to 30 second wait for your lights to look normal, then I don’t know what to tell you, if I was having that problem I would not have CFLs in all my fixtures.
Well, just telling you, if a bulb hasn’t been on in a while its a good 15-30 seconds for it to reach full luminescence in my experience... sometimes faster, but not usually.
CFL’s are ok, I use them in some applications, but the idea they replace in performace an incandescent is nonsense.
If you have lights you turn on and leave on for long periods of time, they are a resonable consideration. If you have lights that you turn on and off infrequently and expect and desire full light the minute you hit the switch, they aren’t remotely going to cut it.
