the first day i didnt notice any difference.. the second on it did seem to smell better.. not a world of difference but a bit better.. maybe? could have been mind tricks.

they did get hot tho.. I use them now in other parts of the house.. lights that are on the most.. I broke down and got an ozone generator and man.. that thing ELEMINATES odor.. I stuck it in my stinky roomates room and lit it off for an hour and now it smells like roses in there.. keeps the whole house smellin nice. The only thing that sucks is you cant be around when you lite it off.. ozone isnt too good for ppl. But i could have never imagined odor killing power like it.. but thats at like 400mg/hr O3.. not like 1mg/hr like the bulbs put off.. if that.

Id reccomend save money on ozone cfls and get either an o3 generator or a carbon filter.. I now have both
