That's surprising. I've found that incandescents last longer than CFLs, which burn out with annoying frequency. Also, the quality of light is terrible so that I can only use them in closets, basement, etc. and not where I'll be reading or need to see clearly for any other reason (kitchen, TV room). I've come to think of CFLs as just another enviro-scam and it doesn't surprise me that the electricity savings isn't as advertised either.
