Default CFL's in humid environments

I don't know if this typical for CFL's or for one particular brand.

I replaced 3 incandescent bulbs with 3 CFL's and they all burned up
within 6 months.

The bathroom is small and it has no working exhaust fan.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

Thanks


Could be that brand or batch. I've not seen the problem and I've had them
in some nasty environments both moisture and temperature wise. The
frequent on and off cycles may be a factor too.

Can't hurt to crack the door or window open when you shower also.


I have had them in my bath with no problems...Same for the ones outside...
