Default Energy Saving flourecent in Bathroom

The packages says to use only in dry areas if not enclosed within a

Would it be unwise to use these in a lighting fixture that uses open
ended globes and located approximately 36 inches above the bathroom
sink?




These will work fine, but be aware that most of the low cost CFL bulbs
require 1-3 minutes to reach full brightness. People who go in the dark
bathroom and flip on the switch will be greeted with a rather dim light
until they warm up. That's sometimes good early in the morning, but it
can be annoying in the evening when entering from a fully lit room.
