A nice very small CFL. It claims 2700K, and is nice and warm. Should fit in most fixtures. Does not mention enclosed spaces, so I would probably not use it inside a closed space.

Why doesn’t a compact fluorescent flood light last longer than 2 years. What does it mean on the package when it states “lasts 9 years”?

I have had 4 of these bulbs to burn out, since June 2010. I replaced all my old bulbs in October when I moved. Now I am wondering if I did the wrong thing.
They are more expensive and I am not convinced that they are saving me any money when they dont last for more than 3 months.

I bought the same lamp in a box which states 9 years is based on 3 hours of use per day. The box also states for use outside it must be in an enclosed fixture so I would assume inside enclosed fixtures would be OK. We have not used it yet so I can’t comment on actual life.

Don’t buy GTC brand bulbs! I bought 2 of the compact fluorescent ceiling fan bulbs. In each package only 2 out of 3 bulbs works. There is no customer service phone number or website. Huge waste of money. Very disappointed. Also alarming- as I was searching the package for a phone number or web address, I noticed there is a gramatical error on the mercury warning label. Doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in their safety practices. I’ll never buy from them again.

I bought 4 GTC 13 watt bulbs. The first one lasted a few weeks, the 2nd one lasted even less. These bulbs are a rip off in my opinion. I’ve read that when a bulb says it will last 9 years, that means it will be used about 4 hours per day (that computes to over 13,000 hours). Well, these bulbs, so far, have lasted a total of 50 to 300 hours total. I change these bulbs far more often than the old fashioned kind, and because they are more costly to begin with, I don’t see how I’m saving money. There are other fluorescent bulbs that I have had great success with.

My bulb lasted for 2 weeks. What a waste!
