How did we all survive? I just through away a CFL that was supposed to last 20,000 hours, please don’t call the EPA.
I just switched 6 100w incandescent bulbs for 6 23w CFLs in some of the outbuildings here. FirstEnergyCo (Met-Ed) sent me a free carton of 20, along with other ‘energy-saving’ crap.) Those incans didn’t last 200hrs, though rated for 4,000hrs. The CFLs are rated for 10,000hrs; we’ll see. I keep records on that stuff, just for grins.
