Getting a bit tired of CFL bulbs that take up to a minute to warm up
too 100% brightness, so can anyone recommend any 'instant on' 60 Watt
(13 Watt CFL?) equivalent bulbs please?


There aren't any, sorry.

They are better than they were in the dear old days but the best of
the current (No pun intended) crop are still about 30% - 50% down at
1 minute, and another 30% down after 12 month's service.(All except
"Dynamo" Hansen's, they positively coruscate within seconds of being
energised).

IMV Feit lamps from Costco (& others) are the3 best of a bad bunch
