Nonsense, CFLs on average use will last for 5 years, vs around 1 for a incendescent.

[chuckles]

....."will last for 5 years".....

Bought 6 for my bedrooms, all burned out in less than 12 months. I have incandescents older than 2 and still going. Of course, I've had incandescents burn out in a month, but I only paid 50 cents for them.

LED's will be the answer, but I'm not willing to take the chance with CFL's until they get a lot cheaper.

I have had terrible luck with these bulbs.

They do not last! What brand are people using and getting good milage out of?

[gitmo]

Not in my house. I’ve not had one last a whole year.
