I've seen all the hype about the new compact florescent bulbs being so environmentally sound...
they're supposed to take so much less energy and last so long.....
So, I invested....for months, every light bulb that would blow got replaced with a florescent bulb. I got used to the strange tones and the little bit of a slow "warm up" period before they are fully bright.
And now, just a few months later - I'm REPLACING FLORESCENT BULBS!!!
They're ceasing to light (they don't really "blow")....at an alarming rate. I am not happy! These were costly items - the truth-in-advertising leaves alot to be desired here....
And, I bought these things at different times - different brands and wattage bulbs - so it's not just one manufacturer. I checked the cupboard where I keep them - Sylvania, Phillips and GE are all the brands - I expected better....

Wow - I didn't know that - we invested in and replaced the bulbs at the church (no small undertaking - it cost nearly $500) - so far none have stopped working - I hope they do better - you know we have much lower humidity here - maybe that helps - I think the ones in the Narthex are over a year old - but we were hoping they'd last 5 - 7 years...
love,
