Hi All, If you want more durability in todays CFLs you need to look for the Energy Star label. I've had many CFL types over the years and I agree it was commonplace to get 15 years+ out of the good old Osrams. I currently use a mix of many sorts in all our sockets including some nifty 4 watt cold cathode units and I'm quite satisfied with the brightness and color.
