Hi John,

I've had what can only be described as horrible luck with Lights of
America and, like you, I'll never buy any of their products again.
When people complain about their poor experiences with CFLs, I
automatically think "oh dear Lord, Lights of America".

I've used a variety of CFLs over the past twenty-three years and some
of my Philips lamps are now more than ten years old -- frankly, short
of unscrewing them from their sockets and smashing them on the ground,
these Philips lamps just won't die.

Cheers,
Paul

I second Don's experience with Lights of America. They have been the
shortest-lived CFLs of any I have bought -- little or no better than
incandescents. I will not buy them any more at any price.

A third vote against Light of America, and a smiley face for Panasonic's
terrific (but expensive) globe CFLs.
