Just got a 4-pack of the Walmart "Great Value" version of these energy-

100w incandescent bulb. Not even close. It's about like a 40w bulb.

Are the name brand bulbs of this type any better?
I have tried several different brands and have decided to stick with Sylvania.
In a 72 degree house it takes less then a minute to warm up. For my 100w equal I
use the Sylvania CFL23EL Micromini 3000k. Works great for me.
