Is this bulb instant on?

If you want to use it as a strobe, it isn't, but with little CFLs like these you'd hardly notice. It's those big, like 200-400 watt equivalent CFLS that take a while to warm up the stuff inside.

No it comes on rather quickly and bright. I use one in my basement and one in a upstairs bathroom.

There is no warm up time, this light bulb works immediately. I would purchase again.

yes it is... Mine when off but the company I got it from was super nice and replace it (including shipping) for me for free... they also have great communication with me along the way... although changing the bulb might be a little tricky cus it invloved a lot of unscrewing and the lid is attached to the oven... but if ur a handy person or if you have an extra person to hold on to the parts then u should be ok... just follow the wires and switch it one after another or mark it to make sure u connect them back the same way... good luck!

The base of the bulb allows you to turn the bulb about one quarter of a turn after it is seated in the socket. However, it is not necessary for it to function properly.

I do not understand the validity of the inquiry. the Timer provides a source of intermittent current ...what does the bulb have to do with the process?

unperceivable, I would need my oscilloscope and photo detector to measure it. In other-words when you flick the switch the bulb is on at full brightness, no waiting, no warm-up time.

Yes, as it works with a led lamp, it is "instant on". If there really is some delay, it's unnoticeable.

No. This type of bulb have an internal programing timer. It can only be controlled by a regular electrical wall switch.

I don't know if it is or isn't but I do know that I had another replacement bulb in my television and it did not last at all, this one has been in for quite some time and looks just like it did from the original day I bought the television. I would definitely recommend this bulb.

Yes it is instant and it is backlit. If you need to know when the item you'r cooking is perfect for your taste, then you need this therometer.

My experience is instant on. These bulbs come on instantly to full intensity even on the coldest nights, -20f.

These bulbs are not instant on. It takes at least a minute for the bulbs to reach their full light potential. I reside in Maryland and placed one bulb in an outdoor fixture. The bulb is still working after one year. I don't turn the bulb on until nightfall and turn it off by 8 am--ergo, about 15 hours on.

Yes, it is a direct replacement bulb, the only tool you will need is a Philips screwdriver.

If it comes on at all, it should be wired correctly. The bulbs and ballast have nothing to do with the sensor, which is what tells the switch to operate. I would suspect the sensor may need to be re-positioned to better see the motion.

Had no problem with the bulb, its either On or Off, you might need to check if it happens on all doors or only one door switch causing the problem.

It should be, i had the from the time i used it. But i would not get this. It will fold on its self and if you twist the bulb the wrong way it wont turn on. It is very picky and i DO NOT advise getting this.
