Takes a minute to warm up but it works fine.

    Best F42TBX bulb I've found so far
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2018*

Cannot find these anywhere locally. Fits perfectly in my Broan bathroom fan/light. Be aware these bulbs do take a bit to reach full brightness. Sometimes they start relatively bright and other times quite dim. This is an issue I have found that is common to this bulb design. I have tried several brands in the last few years and they all have the same issue. These GE bulbs are the "daylight" color and work well in a bathroom. This is my second time buying a GE bulb of this type and they have a pretty good life span. Beware of cheaper no name bulbs. I have found they usually have a shorter life.

    Worked fine but..
  

*by B***H on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2014*

Worked fine but.. then I found the ballast wet the bed ($$$) so I scrapped this plan and adjusted my lamp to use common CFL screw-in. This bulb is a more 'round' shape but the lamp has a good reflector so I still get good light for reading!This is what I did:  I bought a 1 dollar adapter and wired it into my expensive (and old) floor lamp. I bought a six pack of relatively cheap & efficient  CFL bulbs (with a typical Edison screw-in base E27, 27 millimetres in diameter).  If I want more brightness or a different Kelvin color I can swap it in cheaply. My wife loves the Whiter light for reading!
