Granted, most of those went to my uncle for his apartments, but we are still doing all right in our house between the ones we bought and the ones we already had. One of the ones that we already had began humming and buzzing really loud, so I took that out of the light. I figure I'll hold on to it (it does still work) until I find somewhere where I'll need a light but will not be sitting still near the light for any length of time.

One thing I really like about the CFL bulbs is that their low wattage requirements means it's much cheaper to leave our outside lights on all night long... or we could install that 12-foot Vegas-style marquee on the roof now!
