    The first time I bought a CFL bulb that was supposed to last 10 years (or whatever the claim was), I turned the lamp on exactly 2 times and it blew. I was pissed, I spend like $15 on that thing. I bought an incandescent bulb to replace it for about $1, which lasted for years and years.

    The LED ones seem to be better, but I just talk to a co-worker who spent a bunch of time dealing with LED bulb issues. She thought it was the electricity in her house, because they were dim. Turns out replacing the bulbs fixed it.
