Re: [Phys-l] CFL's not such a hot idea

Hello all:

I bought a set of 3 CFL from a "greener" brand (one with a "warranty" 
of 5 years). Two of them were gone before 2 months. Both of them were 
in a bathroom, so I wonder if they are susceptible to humidity. I have 
others in closets and the living room and they are more than 1 year old.
