[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1016458, member: 52972"] I have CFL's that I put into my new house 4.5 years ago and they continue to work fine. I think I had one fail since I moved in. Some stay on 24/7 and some are turned on and off numerous times a day. At my old house, I have had CFL's die in just a few months and other's lasted at least 5 years....don't recall if I ever had any last the full 7 years they claim, but I don't know if I have had many if any CFLs 7+ years ago. I know they have dimmable CFL's but not in the type of bulbs I need. I have a track lighting system in the kitchen that uses small G8 or G10, 50 watt spot lights. The chandelier over the dining table has a dimmer on it but CFLs look ugly in a chandelier with exposed bulbs...even if they are dimmable CFL's. Unless the bulb is hidden by a shade or globe, I will not use CFL's. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
