well I am using philips cfl from many years but what happen it always fuse off in my house and in my city bhilwara dealer service to change this faulty philips cfl was not also good even shopkeepers also says the same things.
so I tried to go to other brand I go for ajanta cfl in north india ajanta thats is wall clock manufacturer was seen as quality brand from old times ..dont trust on brand name often as orpat is also brand of ajanta but its come with cheap quality as I use orpat product several times I can say that
so I purchase and use the 30,25 ,8 watt cfl from ajanta its working well ... and also comes cheaper than philips although mrp is high but u can get at discout from nearby shops.
i my view as I use it works better than philips
last time I bought 30watt simple cfl in 130 appx and it is working....
this cfl comes with ventillation design
second they gave more lumen output /watt than philips
