First time I've ever bought one of these LL lamps (sad,,, sad).
Anyway, It's 20W
equiv. light of 100W and has three long U shaped tubes. When switched
on, only
two of the tubes light up (takes about 1 minute to reach full
brilliance). But
it takes a few minutes longer before the third tube shows any light
at all! Is
this normal operation?

they dont normally do that, but the occasional one will. CFLs are a lot
more variable than GLS, buying a few different makes will soon show you
which ones are best. Avoid the =A31 ones.
