What brand do you buy? I have a few (flood-light style) that have lasted for a while but typically they don't make it even a year for me. Last batch I tried before I gave up on them was a six-pack of GE branded bulbs bought at Sams. Another I don't really like is they take a few minutes to reach full brightness -- turning on my kitchen lights, which are still mostly CF floods in recessed ceiling "cans" I get a very low illumination initially. Definitely NOT ideal for areas where you need lights for only a few minutes at a time, such as a bathroom. Allan -- 1983 300D 1966 230
