The reason is that CFLs work by applying electricity to gas inside the tube, and it can take a few seconds for the gas to get hot enough to fully illuminate. Years ago it took even longer, although CFL bulbs today light up much faster. Hope this helps! Mrs. “D”, I can tell you that CFL bulbs do take a few seconds to fully illuminate.

The light itself holds 2 60watt light bulbs.. I have two of these fixtures in my kitchen. One at each end. I replaced only l bulb, GE Spiral Bulb, being a general purpose <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NISDNU?ie=UTF8&tag=energysavinggadgets-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000NISDNU" rel="nofollow">74437 energy smart bulb</a>, in one of the fixtures..I spent the extra money, since I am 80 years young and cannot climb the ladder to change bulbs and have to call for help everytime the bulbs burn out. I've noticed that it takesa little bit of time for the bulb to fully illuminate. Is this dangerous. The other socket in the same fixture I have just an ordinary 60 Watt light bulb. I am hoping to replace the other three bulbs as finances allow. Please let me know if this okay to use the way it is at present. Thank you.
