They do take time warming up so if it is cold be prepared for a dim minute or two

Pop them in the microwave for 15 seconds before using them

Forget those wussy little IUD bulbs. You need a manly fluorescent light, 48-inches long. One of these 4-bulb babies really lights up a room -- on only 128 watts.

The ones I use are just as bright if not brighter.
