Wow. Long lasting light bulb.

I just replaced a flourescent like spiraly round bulb, the kind that replaces regular bulbs after never replacing it in 12 years. (it was in the laundry room when i moved in and it just went out.)

We used to call them 'pigtails'. They do last a long time. When I moved into my current house 15 years ago, it was 'peak CFL'; so that's what I installed in most places. Most have never been swapped out. The kind to avoid, in my experience, are those 'filament' LEDs designed to look like tungsten. They never last!
