Default Regarding compact flourescent (CF) bulbs...

I bought 3 of the 'soft white' 100 watt equiv. ones off the net, can't
think of the brand. Two work, the other worked about one hour and then
conked out! These type bulbs have always been reliable for me in the
past. Just kind of ****ed me off as they are supposed to outlast a reg
bulb 10 times or whatever and the thing didn't even last thru dinner.
Too big a pain to get a refund for $5 so I tossed it in the trash
(actually I THREW it in the trash!)
