Do these come on instantly or is there a delay?

They come on instantly; unlike halogen bulbs. Just like halogens, you should burn them in for at least 30 minutes after installation. I have not done so in the past and it dims the maximum brightness of the bulb if you do not.

they come on instantly, not like compact fluorescent that need about 2 minutes to come to full power

They come on as instantly as any other LED I have seen. Not like a halogen where there is typically a slight delay.

They will power on as soon as the ports get power. I have them plugged into an active port, so the speakers are on all the time.

Yes, but you can turn on live monitoring as soon as you receive a motion detection notice. On my network there is a ten second delay, which is ok for me.

They are on timers. They go off 4 hours after you turn them on, they are amazing!!!!

I have not noticed a delay. The only problem I've had is when I try to use the dual output at the same time. One for audio to an older amplifier and one to the tv. The unit has no output when both are connected, but works fine when only one is connected.

None. They work perfectly. The only delay is when you first turn them on. They take a couple of seconds to synch with the base. Typically, I turn off the headphones whenever I'm done using them to save batteries.

On my car is doesn't need to wait. SOme time my right light it does't work, when I open it. And I just turn off and turn on again, they come very fast.

I do not notice any delay in these lights coming on, but I am not sure I would notice 1/2 a second delay.

They come on quickly but, like lots of other fluorescents, take a few minutes to get up to full intensity. I would say they are a bit faster then some other bulbs I bought in getting to full brightness .

We use these in our kitchen and there is no delay. We turn the switch on and the light is immediately on!

There is a delay on the transmitter which is adjustable to either 10 seconds or 120 seconds. The units are all sent out defaulted to 10 seconds. It is not possible to have no delay.

No they don't have a timer. Also every once in awhile 1 or 2 will come on by themselves and you have to manually turn them off!

They came on during the first day after installation a month ago .....nothing since. I just wrote the filter installation date down.

Yes, they are instant on. However, beware of their overall quality. I think I gave these a one-star rating. I bought around 8 of these in 2011, and half failed within 2 years. You won't get 25K hours out of any of these, for sure.

about a sec. or 2 sec. at most. I don't even notice the delay, had to get up and check the light. You notice if you look for it.

They are instant on I believe ( I'm using a dimmer ) , I wouldn't recommend buying these, I have replaced them few times since they burn so fast
