Did you replace it with another compact flourescent spiral, or did you use an LED bulb this time?
[quote]The average lifespan of CFLs is about 8,000 hours, compared to the 25,000-hour lifetime of LEDs. That comes out to about three CFL bulbs for every one LED purchase.[/quote]

@ElwoodBlues actually, i have a bunch of the old style incandescent bulbs I'm still using lol. i dont really like flourescents or led bulbs. i generally buy reveal or chromalux bulbs but these are just standard bulbs i got from the flea market. i have a ton of them.

@Penny According to that same site,
[quote]If you were to light an incandescent bulb for 25,000 hours, it would cost $169, compared to the $30 cost to light an LED. For this reason, incandescent bulbs typically don鈥檛 shine as bright as CFL and LED bulbs.[/quote]
I guess if someone else is paying for the electricity then you could use purchase cost to justify incandescents.

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!
