I'm looking for a good bulb to use in a China Ball. Has anyone here tried these bulbs? If so are they any good?

Electrical supply doesn't make them, but if the CRI on that bulb isn't too low that could be an excellent replacement for praticals all over the place. Thanks for the link.

I called them and they said the CRI is 82. Is this good or bad?

Yes, the color temperature is corrected, but the radio interference from CFL's is unavoidable.

Had one set up one time and everything around it flickered like a television screen. Even with the major adjustments to the synchro scan, could not get it to stop flickering. Plus I felt the boom picked up interference as well.

Cool. Thanks for the warning. I was wondering why I couldn't find these at filmtools.com and b&h photo.

Any other popular options for edison screw in fluorescent?

I have seen a few other recomendations shot down around here, but I still think it would be good to get one for a paper lantern
