Tools and Hardware Reviews of Panasonic EFT28E50 Capsule Collection 28W Compact Fluorescent Lamp (T Shape)

Customer Review: Excellent bulb for that great "tube light" feel!
Summary: 5 Stars

This bulb is awesome.

Before reading the other reviews, you should read the one by [Martin Anderson "Martin"] - he explains the model number to the color of light relation well. His review is not for this item, maybe Amazon replaced the model number after he reviewed, but the logic holds.

So, by the same logic, this bulb, "EFT28E50", produces brilliant white light, at 5000K (also known as cool white). If you are looking for "warm white" light - something that can go with other incandescent lamps in the room - then you want a model ending in 28, for 2800K.

Just as FYI, 5000K means the light an object would porduct when heated to 5000 Kelvin, or about 8,540.33 degrees Fahrenheit. Similarly, 2800K is 2800 Kelvin, or 4,580.33 degrees Fahrenheit, about half as hot. The hotter the object is, the more bluish it appears.

So, in all, I wanted a "tube light" - the long, fluorescent lightbulbs seen in offices and schools - to light up the entire room, with minimal shadows, and be efficient about it. This one does just the job. The best part is, any torcherie stand-lamp would be good enough for this bulb, so you don't have to mount things (like a standard fluorescent lamp assembly) on the walls.

Overall, if you are looking for a fluorescent lamp in bright/cool/5000K white light, this is awesome.

Just FYI: the builbs work great, but are really delicate - a very short drop when the bulb was still in the box completely crashed the entire thing.
