My experience of fluorescent bulbs is they vary quite a bit. The Ikea ones I have take a while to warm up, but the General Electrics don't (and are no more expensive and available from Woolworths down the road).
Indeed there is a world of difference. We've had excellent results from philips (at £1 each) bought last year, especially in comparison to older ones...
