I call bullshit on that.
If you have lights that only last less than a month, and aren't getting refunds, you are just post-like in your intellegence.
Standard CF bulbs here, light quickly, and work for years.
Weeks only? Try it with a newb.

No need to get hostile /johnny. Sheesh!
The last CFLs we installed in our bathroom above the vanity lasted about 6 months. Only one of the 5 is still working. Those bulbs are powered on less than 2 hours a day. Do the math.
The CFLs I have used do light quickly when the air temperature is warm. I don’t the climate where you use them. In northern Wisconsin when it’s below freezing that’s a different story. In my unheated garage it takes at least 5 minutes for them to achieve maximum brightness when the air temp is below freezing.
The bulbs in our heated bathroom loose some of their brightness over the lifetime of the bulb. You can install an unused bulb from the same manufacturer and immediately tell the difference from the bulbs that have been in use for a while. They keep getting dimmer until they finally do not come on.
If you want to have an adult conversation fine, if you just want to respond with insults then just get lost.
