  • These Should Last Longer If They Are Not Dimmed OR Are Left On For Over 3 Hours. They Will Last 5 Years

  • This light bulb was already about 5 years old, so it was getting to be time for it to go out

  • You shouldn't use a CFL bulb in a fixture like this unless they are rated for that use. They'll overheat and burn out because there's no air movement to cool it.

  • I have a ceiling fan in my room, I have put 4 bulbs in it in the past 4 weeks (regular, not energy efficient). What could be wrong?

  • It sounds like it blew a transistor or a diode.

  • Ive had on burn out on me, i opened up the base only to find 4 componets black and burnt!!!

  • lucky this one didn't smoke or go in flames as some actually goes up in FLAMES!!!!

  • we have a cfl in the pole light on the putside of our house and that thing burns every nite and its lasted 3 years so far

  • man,this is why i Hate CFL"s....some of mine lasted mere months.
