i put in a couple of good ones and couple cheap ones at basically the same time at my old place. the good ones were still going, the cheap ones, definitely got replaced at least once.

they were the equivelent to 150 wat bulbs and were something like $7 each -- nm - peglegpete Oct 23, 10:18 3
- it's hard enough to find 100W equivalents but 150's are impossible - zork Oct 23, 10:25 2
  - Lowes has them -- nm - peglegpete Oct 23, 10:30 1
    - Lowe's just started opening stores here less than two years ago and just opened one near me this summer -- nm - zork Oct 23, 10:37
i've only ever changed one and have moved twice with a couple ones. -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 23, 10:17 2
- I dunno, while they do last longer, 9x? no way -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 10:19 1
