Cheap Purely Products PA15 15-Watt Green Energy Efficient Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb Review

I have only owned this product for one day so I can't say anything about the reliability, but I am impressed by this product. First off everyone should know that this bulb is whiter than the normal CFL. I would consider it a daylight spectrum bulb. I was not expecting this because the company sells a different model for that, maybe that one is even whiter. Some people will most likely say that this unit doesn't produce a lot of ions because they are looking for that ozone smell that most ionizers have. Since this unit produces little to no ozone you cannot go by that indication. The only way you can tell is by paying attention to the way you feel breathing or by lighting up a cigarette in your house. That being said this unit produces a lot of negative ionization. It blows away my air filters that have built ionizers. I am even more impressed with Purely products lifestyle ionizer(no light) but think it's overpriced because it's for twice the ionization of the CFL and no light. If they can throw the ionizer into the cfl and still sell it for than it must be pretty cheap to produce. I was very impressed to see the black fibers on the emitter of the ionizer. I have seen this on other super high performance ionizers and that kind of emitter is supposed to be maintenance free. If I had to guess, two of these CFL's should out ionize an Ionic Breeze Quadra but without the crackling noise and ozone. I am glad this new ionizer technology does not have those dust plates since most of the air cleaning action takes place out in the room as the negative charge causes particles to drop out of suspension to the floor. These will probably sell much better in Europe and Russia because they are keeping up with ionizer developments and ionizers are even mandatory in many places there. I would like to see a switch added to these to allow the ionizer to stay on while the light is turned off, then it could be used at night while you sleep.
