I'm looking for something to put in the many recessed "cans"(?) that
are in my kitchen and living room. I need something that is instant
on and quick to get bright because my wife is not a big fan of these
things.

You can find information (user reviews) on some bulbs he

I use 2 kinds in my basement, the 2 that Costco has sold, Westinghouse and FEIT, and they both seem
to me to come on fine. I will be putting them in my kitchen as the incandescents there (left over
from previous owner) burn out.

I really don't notice any of my CFLs taking long to come on, except one torchiere light. They
really are way better than they used to be.
