I personally prefer the name brands because they produce light from a
warmer spectrum, which is closer in appearance to a luminscent bulb.
Cheapier fluorescents from the dollar store are ok for the night light I
have in the front window.

"Thrift is sexy."

Throughout my home I have 72 CFL's of various wattages. Mixed brands, most
are indies. Color temp varies from 2700K to 2900K, equal to incandescent.
Have had 4 failures in 7 years, 2 outdoors and 2 in basement. I think
vibration may have got the outdoor ones as they are post lights. The 2 in
the basement are on 24/7 for general illumination for cats to find food,
water, and litter boxes.
