In Consumer Reports tests, some were better than others but most held up to
the claims. Remember that 7 years may be just 4 hours of use a day in the
fine print.

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?
