I was reading a newspaper article comparing
prices at TARGET and WalMart stores.

They cited GE brand CFL's.
Though packaged identically,
the TARGET bulbs are waranteed for 10,000 hours,
while the WalMart units are waranteed for 6,000 hours.

I haven't gone to my TARGET to check it out,
but it would be interesting.


Strange, I usually find the wal Mart merchandise to have a higher
quality to value ratio and better selection than Target, especially in
clothes and food. I've never had a CFL last as long as they say they
do anyway, and returning them is more hassle than its worth. I bought
9 expensive dimmable large PAR floods and all died within 8 mos, while
the old halogens next to them are going on 8 years, go figure. Those
I did return and felt like I was being waterboarded for doing so. The
new dimmable CFL's dont last very long at all from my experience, not
good if most of your wall switches are dimmers.
