I'm trying a few of those CFL flood
type bulbs that are supposed to be so great myself. So far, I'm not
impressed. They take about 2 mins to reach any reasonable
brightness. I put two in about two months ago, and one just went out
already. 4X Life? I don't think so!


Different brands behave differently. I have some that take a while to
brighten up, and some that come on instantly.

Most manufacturers will replace the bulbs if they die prematurely...I
have some bulbs that are ~4yrs old and still work fine.
