The ones I have used have burned out just as fast, if not faster, than regular bulbs, and the light has sucked. Am I buying the wrong ones? Wrong wattage? I can’t afford a $10 bulb right now.
I am going to start hording I guess. I’ll have to hide them in the attic or my husband will have a fit. lol
I bought a “daylight” florescent for my front porch to replace the one before which lasted about five years (and I burn it almost constantly). It’s very bright! Just picked up six 100w rated bulbs at Costco for about $10. I think the older ones took longer to light up but these new ones are instant on. They have bulbs for dimmer appliances too.

I have been told not to buy the ones at the dollar stores!
