My experience with CFLs was that they were bad, blue and flickery when they came out. They also made a very annoying buzzing sound. They got a lot better over the years though, and became quite acceptable.
- jandrese 6y agoFWIW I don't remember much buzz from even the few bad ones I tried, but the early ones were notorious for taking a long time to come to full brightness. You would flip the switch on and it would pop on at like 25% of its rated brightness and then slowly creep up to full brightness after a minute or two.
