I've been using CFLs for several years now, and I've found that they have

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.

Most that I see running 24/7 last a year or two.
