Shrug. If your 'old crappy bulbs' only last a month or two, you have
wiring problems, or are cycling them constantly, or burn them 24/7, or all
of the above.

I have NO bulbs that aren't on 16x7, except in the 5 rooms I in which I only
need to use artificial light once or twice a year. The kitchen/great room
and office bulbs are on constantly. Literally, there are no other rooms in
the house which I need to light, except for the hallway, and that's for less
than a minute a day. There's a CFL in that one, too. All the other rooms get
enough daylight, or maybe I'm just a mole. Still, incandescents were WAAAY
expensive and short-lived versus even the original CFLs. I'm thrilled they
will be gone for good!
