    Hi one4earth,
    When we bought our home it had all incandescent bulbs. Big suprise, right? We have been switching them to the CFL’s once they burn out.

    I have been using these for about 2 years now. Does anybody else have the problem with them going out quicker than the incandescent bulbs? I heard they are supposed to last longer, but they don’t seem like it to me.

    My husband got 2 of them free from his work, they’re too low wattage. Have to look into getting some with higher.

    Hi Kara,
    The wattage can definitely make a different.
