I just bought a 3 pack of Sylvania 15W CFL spot lights for my kitchen
fixture.


I know that CFL's take a little while to reach full brightness, but
these take over 2 minutes! *They'd barely be called a "nightlight"
when they first come on.


It's not bad in the morning since it's gentle on the eyes, but at
night it's pretty annoying.


Gotta call Sylvania and see what they say.

Cfl spots take a long time to get bright unlike regular cfls, at 0f
its 6 minutes.


I hope it never gets down to 0F in my kitchen! It'll be cold *and*
dark!
