The ones in the bathroom fixtures last about twice as long at a minimum for us, and everywhere else in the house, several times that. It’s been so long since I had to swap the bulb in my room light I truly don’t remember anymore if it’s the first or the second one.

All said, even with the relative cost being higher for the ones in the bathroom, it buys off the nuisance of getting the ladder, the risk of falling or dropping one of the fancy globes...a few cents is a good trade there, IMO.

Again, I think folks should be able to freely buy whatever bulb they feel best suits their needs.

Interesting, because I read that unless you leave the new bulbs on for at least 20 minutes at a time, they are prone to burning out quickly. That was the experience of a family member. She bought 2 of the new bulbs and they both burned out in a couple of weeks of normal use.
