I have had every brand made, I think. Sylvania,Phillips, GE, Globe, and a
miriad of brands I have never seen before. I am not sure which ones had
problems. I have had some DOA units too in 6-packs. I have had units that
took 5 minutes to brighten so you could tell they were on when I lived on
solar power, on cold days.

I sell old units to Jewish people for weddings. Nobody knows it isn't a
wine glass breaking inside the bag...LOL

What brand are you buying? I've had a bunch of Sylvania and Feit CFLs
burn out -- but I've had Sylvania incandescents that lasted only a day
or less too.

I have never had a CFL burn out yet in several years of usage. Many have
