I’m liking the new LED bulbs.
The CFL’s are dangerous garbage. I’ve had them blowup and shoot sparks out of the base.
I still have some CFL bulbs but am replacing them bit by bit by LEDs. I have used the CFLs since they were pretty new and have had no problems at all with them. Disposal has been no problem because they don’t burn out. One has quit on me the in 15 years whereas I used to have to replace an incandescent bulb every couple of weeks. Our neighborhood electricity supply has always fluctuated and that seems to be death on Incandescents.
I’ve had 3 running for 10 years. No problem. I don’t plan on buying more these were freebies when the craze started.
Really? I’ve been using CFLs for a while and never had an issue. What brand are you using? Even a better question, how is the power quality where you are located?
I have had an LED fade waaaaay ahead of schedule and another simply not work.
But I hope the rest last as long as they are supposed to.
Too bad they won’t work in my EasyBake Oven, though.
I’ve had LEDs, six bucks a pop, work like flash bulbs. Others burn out just as fast as the cheapest.
So sick of all this crap forced on us. Bring back my DDT and Freon.
Other than the fact that they cost 10X what incandescent bulbs cost and last half as long.
I liked old incandescent bulbs at 75 cents each.

Notwithstanding the contradictory responses, I agree CFLs suck.
GE is getting out of the CFL business in the next 3-4 years.
