I've been using CFLs for several years now, and I've found that they have
about the same lifespan as an incandescent bulb, despite claims to the
contrary. Seven year warranty? Whatta joke. I went back to incandescent in a
few places because I got tired of the CFLs burning out.

What are others experiences with CFLs? How long do they last for you?

On all the time, 6 months seems to be the lifespan. *If they were only
on 1.7 hours per day, perhaps they would last for the full 7 years.

Keep the reciept and get ones with a 7 yr warranty.
