Mitch, the CFL floods I have in my kitchen take 5-7 seconds to reach full
brightness.

What are you doing here? *:-)

Mine take about 3-4 minutes! *I have various brands (10 lights total),
and they all take that long.

What kind do you use? *I want those!

Yours must just be very old. I have lots of kinds and brands, and they all
come up to full strength in less than 10 seconds. The only one that takes
minutes is a bulb in a closet that's been there for more than 5 years.

I have new HDs that take minutes
