I typically get at least one year continious on. Thats well above
normal lifespan. I get 61000 hours. An incandesent is only supposed to
last 1500 hrs, thats with a long lasting bulb.
Cycling and other things will certaily matter.

I multiplied wrong. I multiplied time 7. It should be 8760 hrs for the
CF.
