Re: Batiyaan bhujai rakhdee …
They take a minute or two to reach full brightness. We use the philips softtone as large bulb replacements and they tell you on the box what the light is equivalent to, so we also make sure to buy the ones equivalent to 86W regular bulbs. For lamps, I like the short spiral ones that are equivalent to 44W, which is what most people usually put in lamps.
In the long term, they are so much cheaper for you. About 4 E.S bulbs will equal the wattage of 1 standard bulb.
