@poiiihy I have 4 GreenLite in use and they are about a year old working as good as Day 1! They seem better than FEIT, which my second set of those seem very good.

Don't use a dimmer! Screw them in by the base NOT the bulb. I have MANY that have lasted over a year.

get leds or at least n:vision lights. NEVER get GreenLite..

It could be a surge from the substation, a slight differential in amperage can fry the ballast on a CFL if the amperage stays below 2 amps the lamps will not die rapidly.

That hum and that flickering, plus the fact that they've died with in weeks is normally what happens if they're in a circuit with a dimmer, even if you never dim them, the current is arround 5 times higher and it just cooks the components inside!

Bingo! The light with the hum and flickering is on a dimmer. However, the first light is NOT on a dimmer and they're still dying quickly. Maybe it is the wiring in my house.
