[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1254766, member: 43436"] Frequency, weather, etc. are all [B]speculated [/B]to be factors determining the lifespan of a CFL bulb, whereas incandescents are based on hours on. I strongly disagree as I have a few bulbs on my property that stay on 24/7 for security reasons, and some CFL - from the same package - have lasted much longer than others. Really, I think it's just the quality of the bulb. In any event, all of them have outlasted the incandescents I use to use. My (great) aunt lives in a home built post-WWII, and her bulbs in the garage, attic and along the exterior of the house are incandescents from an era when the power company supplied them at no charge (so 80-years-old?) - and yes, she uses these lights fairly frequently. I guess they don't make them like they use to -- might as well shorten the lifespan, and collect people's $$$. [/QUOTE]
