We bought a bunch of those to convert all our lights over to compact fluorescent. They were all dead within one month. Turns out compact fluorescent bulbs don't do well in fixtures where the base is

Curly bulbs? As in fluorescents? I bought a batch of coloured ones last Christmas and they were run through a dimmer. They lasted the night. Apparently, they aren't made for that ( fine print ). ____

The compact fluorescents last way longer in enclosed spaces like closets, shower stalls, and glass globes where the heat buildup kills the incandescents. Ours in the upstairs closet is about 2 years
