not sure what that means... I know that I used these in my outdoor light, which is on a timer... not sure if that helps :)

Yes, they are. Most CFL's are instant on as long as you are above ~32 degrees.

Hi Bev, I'm sorry, but I don't know. I placed the order a while back on behalf of my boss and he is no longer around to ask. My apologies. Best, Sybille

They are instant on. However, as with most cfl's they still take a couple minutes to really get up to full temp.

Yes they are. I have them in two photo cell lights in my driveway. They come on every night and burn out in about a year. Not bad

Yes. They are an led replacement sealed unit with led bulbs in them. They do not have replaceable bulbs in a plastic housing like the factory ones.

Sorry, I'm not sure. I do know that this type of bulb has a short life compared with regular bulbs. Generally they are not on for that long in any case.

No. Although you get some light immediately, they take about 2 minutes to get to full brightness.

Yes. They are the halogen work lamp bulbs, like you would get for portable construction site lights. Just like those, you'll have to turn them on and let them sit in a well ventilated area (outside) for about 5-10 minutes to burn off the chemical coating before your first use. After that you'll be fine. Very bright and VERY hot!

I don't think they are. Actually, I highly doubt it. I've used them in regular light fixtures and have been very pleased with them. Their output is high, although I haven't measured it in lumens. Color balanced seems spot on, compared to natural daylight. I put them in a softbox and they work quite well. Regards, Steve

My experience is instant on. These bulbs come on instantly to full intensity even on the coldest nights, -20f.

No,and also they are the small neck bulbs, like the night lights. If you buy the 40 watt ones they are pretty bright.

Not really. They are fragile and require recurring adjusting as bulbs lose contact. Had to replace several bulbs after 2-3 months of use. Will not use again.

Yes they are. These lights are amazing. I have 10 of these lanterns on my house. All 10 use an equivalent on one 40 watt bulb, and yet gives out the most amazing, white patterned light. They look gorgeous!

No they are not. But they are a simple efficient fixture at an incredibly low price, and each fixture comes with it's own driver. I found them to be very practical.

I'm of the opinion that new is better than old. If the bulbs are inexpensive(read cheap) they probably are. I left the lamps in that came with them and will use the old ones if the newer burns out. Upgrade if you desire more brightness.

Yes. They are also easy to install. They also come with new bulbs however I reused my high output bulbs and saved the new ones.

Yes to both questions... Haven't even had to replace bulbs yet... Over one year... Use constantly..

Very slight flicker when turning on -- not annoying at all. Instant on. However, they do flicker when it is time to change a bulb. I've had 20 in my family room ceiling since 1993. They are on constantly and I haven't had to change a bulb in over 15 months.

Yes. The bulb I ordered and received was an OEM Phillips bulb and came packed in a box from Phillips
