These things say they produce more lumens than a 100 watt bulb, but i think they are total crap. they let off a buzz, arent that bright, and are huge. what do you guys think?

Are you sure you are talking about compact bulbs? They are not the long tubes. They can be super bright, I have some I use to grow plants in a deep aquarium. Hmm, I've never heard them hum. I have been attempting to replace my recessed lights with them but my wife hates the light that they cast.

I had all our lights bulbs replaced with florecent....In my mind (or not) florescent lighting makes me in a better mood.
Ours do not hum, none of them?
Plus plants love florescent lights :0)

It could be you've got bad wiring.
Also, read the label - I don't think you're supposed to use them in recessed fixtures. I'm guessing that's because you should grip them by the base when screwing & unscrewing them, rather than by the tube which could break if twisted.
