thats it? ive heard that they put out more light from the sides too...you going to provide some links or just trying to stir stuff up?Not trying to be a ass but your statement about more light being emitted out of the side of the bulb is false.
He don't stir pot, he smokes it. lolNo sir I have tested the theory with several types and sizes of bulbs. Take a spiral cfl into a dark room..... without a shade or anything and hold the bulb tip first towards wall and see how bright it is.... holding roughly 12 inches away. Then do with side of bulb facing wall. You will see for yourself! I'm just trying to help. I don't stir pots sir.
