Is this Long-Life lamp working properly?

Mar 18, 2005 1 Replies

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? tia

brilliance). But

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.
