The CFLs were all from GE but I don't know if they are of the same

Comments welcome.


That would explain it. Seriously, I find GE CFLs to be about the least
reliable of any available, and their SOX and SON lamps aren't much better.
Their mercury lamps seemed to be ok, but they are rapidly becoming extinct
these days. I haven't had much experience with their metal halides.
