a Philips lamp. All the cheapos from Home Depot are at full brilliance
immediately - at least it's so subtle I don't notice it if they're
not. Those Philips lamps OTOH were very dim at first.
That's not what they sell here."Eeysore"

Haven't seen those ones. At least not that style by Philips."Eeysore"

get worse as they age though.
You're either talking about old technology ones or very cheap crap.
I buy Philips or Osram (Sylvania in the USA IIRC).
** Philips "Tornado" spiral CFLs are also VERY SLOW to light up fully.
Even with a room temp of 20C they take about 3 minutes.
I bought 3 cheapos too. Similar results. Maybe they're more generous withstratus46@yahoo.com

** The "cheapos" do light up fast.
Cos the tubes are just loaded with mercury and the heater filaments are
overdriven to hell.
They tend to go " booom " real quick too.
Well you won't find them in Morrisons. They do the more conventional looking"Eeysore"

If you want brighter starting and faster warmups, then avoid the ones
with outer bulbs.

Some of the slowest lighting CFLs are made by Philips and use an exposed
spiral - eg
http://www.lamptech.co.uk/Spec%20Sheets/Philips%20CFL%20Tornado.htm
The "warm up" time is stated to be 2 minutes.
The initial light level is about 10%, it depends on room temp.

They are readily available from many retailers, world wide.
What a desperate & PATHETIC LIAR !!!
What a desperate & PATHETIC OVER SNIPPER !!!
So, tell us from Australia where in England does one walk in off the
street and find these to be the usual CFLs there. How about available at
all in a retail store for that matter?
Indeed you are. I have had ZERO problems with any CFL except dropping one"Eeysore"
