11w PL Lamp Energy Saving Light Bulb 2 pin 6500k Daylight White G23 S [Energy Class A]

It's a good product -- gives out daylight type glow. This item is usually much dearer in DIY or other electrical shop. I resorted to Amazon & researched for this lamp online because I could not find in my local B&Q this humble bulb for my table lamp, which I needed badly. I was so pleased with the ease with which this bulb was supplied that I bought two more (to avoid any future fruitless trips to an electical store in snow and rain). Please do check that the glow is "daylight" or near daylight, if that's your requirement. Other bulbs of similar fitting have a warm glow (it all depends on its colour code, I have recently learnt!). I find this daylight glow best suited to reading & similar desk work.

I have a Daylight Company desk lamp (it's great, too). The tube stopped lighting up after two years? of use. The Daylight tube on Amazon is priced at £15-odd. This one is less than a quarter of the price (it's "free postage"). It looks identical to the light tube I've just taken out of the lamp. Just as bright. Obviously, I recommend it.

Can't answer longevity. Not quite as bright as i thought it would be, but is fine for a desk lamp. Nice white light. good value

I bought this for an Ikea desk lamp which was starting to light a little slow and burn a little dim. I wanted a daylight tube as I'm in the process of converting all of the lights to 6500K temperature.The lamp lives in my workshop. I do all kinds of things from electronics to clockmaking, plenty of repairs, small DIY jobs and the like. I need a bright like with good colour rendering.Compared to the old stock lamp, this is much brighter. The colour temperature looks to be very close to daylight, which is great. It comes on quickly and reaches full brightness almost instantly. I can't see any flicker.It's still going strong, and I would expect it to last for years. Obviously I can't comment on the longevity.

Good price and does the job but it’s defiantly a yellow colour even though It states white

Does the job

I dont usually write reviews but these bulbs have a crazy long life, not sure if i got lucky or what but i ordered 2 of these 2 years ago and im still only on the first one, i have a really bad habit of leaving my tank light on for like days at a time so it was constantly on, ive just now retired my old tank so im not using the light anymore but i bought 2 bc i thought it was gonna last like 6 months max, second one is still in the bubble wrap, highly recommended

I have used lamps using this type of bulb for many years and have a few occasions to replace the bulbs in some of them. I had used a mixture of brands of bulb and never yet found an issue with any, until now!This bulb was purchased to replace another which was itself a replacement for an earlier one that had been in continuous use for some years. The original was supposedly the Daylight type but was slightly warm in tone. It replacement was very warm but that had quite recently become very dim and even much warmer and a replacement was due. The light is quite blue in colour and appears very bright but there is a significant and very obvious flicker and flashing. Removing and replacing the bulb and leaving it on for several hours in an attempt to have it 'settle' after being jogged and jostled in transit was to no avail.The flickering is so obvious and annoying that it is quite unusable.I had contacted the supplier who kindly agreed to send a replacement, which has now been received. However, it appears to be subject to the same issue although to a lesser degree and appears to be far less bright. I know that they need a few minutes to reach peak efficiency, but this one appears dimmer than others at the same period of initial use.As this may be a batch issue, or is a generic fault with this brand, I would suggest seeking an alternative source and another brand.
