Who has CFL's in their home?

You have to use CFL's rated for use in enclosures, or they will burn out faster. Not all are, but the 6 pack of 14 W bulbs I bought from Home Depot were. Used them in place of 60 W bulbs in a number of enclosed ceiling fixtures and they are still going good. They have lasted longer than incandescent bulbs so far, will have to see if they last the 7 years they were warrantied for. These CFL's were also rated for outdoor use, but only in enclosed fixtures.
