Sylvania 14W A19 Soft White Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb x 3 Pack

Just bought them today, & stuck one in to compare it's whiteness & brightness to the other Feit bulbs in my celing fan. These bulbs are not soft white. They are yellow. They do turn on right away, and are dim. They have to "warm up" to get bright. They are not flicker free. They do flicker. If you are not interested in having full & instant light, these will do the job. If you want true bright light, they won't do the trick. The give off a weak palsy yellow like light. No, it does not come any where close to being a soft white. Bottom line is they are very inexpensive, &, give light.
