I have a five bulb light in one room, and just had to replace two of the bulbs.

I tried the "on for an hour the first time" thing and it works!

The two bulbs come on bright right away, while the other three take longer to come up to temp/brightness.

Is there anyway to tell by looking at the box on these bulbs if the bulb will turn on right away? The ones that have a 3 second delay are really annoying. I've only had one prematurely fail so far. I have about a half dozen that are 5+ years old. The last few I've picked up at Home Depot have a start delay
