### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***H on 7 January 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!
