}> So I've used }> compact fluorescent bulbs for the last couple of years. Sixteen }> Panasonic 20-watt units. The light color is almost satisfactory, and }> the 16 bulbs give enough light, but they've noticeably dimmed since }> new. So that 6000-10000 hour rating hasn't been realistic, although }> they haven't burned out. I estimate they're actually at about }> 1500-2000 hours by now, and will soon need replacing. Almost satisfactory? That means they are not satisfactory. 2000 hours? I can get almost that out of a ordinary 40watt bulb. If what you report is true, this is definitely not the lamp of the future. -- Norm Strong (strong@tc.fluke.com) 2528 31st S. Seattle WA 98144
