And they are GE brand as someone said, they have problems. Here I
thought GE was a good name brand ????

I have had more bad experience with GE than with Philips and Sylvania,
but less than with Lights of America.

My biggest GE gripes for compact fluorescents are for a couple
specific ones probably obsoleted or discontinued.

My biggest gripe with GE now is they are outsourcing the F8T5 (not an
actual CFL but a smaller one of the "standard" fluorescents to China and
the label only claims 5,000 hours life. The F8T5 used to be claimed to
last 7500 hours. The 5,000 hour version costs no less than these ever
did.
