I use these bulbs in Almost all my lights at home. They don't seem to last as long as they claim...........

Especially not in a garage during the winter months.

They work well inside, for the most part.

I have two in particular that basically burn 24x7...one in my basement and one over the stove in my kitchen.

I've discovered thay do not last any longer than regular bulbs in ceiling fans......

But the incandescents don't last as long there either. I started using them in my outside lamp because it burns all evening, and I replace it about once a year instead of 4 times a year, still a lot but with the energy costs I'm saving, plus not having to replace the bulb that often (which involves getting out a stepstool) I come out ahead.

I'm using one for my garage door opener now, the shaking really breaks the other bulbs fast (I switched to expensive appliance bulbs but it didn't help). There isn't any filiment to shake apart so I'm hoping the lamp will last just as long as it would anywhere else.
