I haven't had a problem like the one you described but I'm sure they happen. What brand bulb are you using? Remember CFL's contain small amounts of mercury and need to treated with caution when broken or thrown away. Check the Energy Star website for further information. http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/promotions/change_light/downloads/Fact_Sheet_Mercury.pdf Thanks for the input Bob.

I Replaced almost every light bulb with compact fluorescents and I have had to change them several times already. I do not believe they last longer than incandescents. Though, the ones that went out are on warranty it is annoying to send them back to get new ones. Technology on the compact fluorescent is getting better, I just hope in a few years they last as long as they say they do!
