Can you mention the brand of the CFLs? I switched over just about every bulb in my house 4 years ago. For most I got the 100watt ones from Costco, I honestly don't remember the exact brand name it is electralux or something like that. I've replaced one of them. We have about 20 of those conical lights in recessed fixtures, I converted those to the ones from Home Depot. I've replaced 2 of those. The only really noticable thing I've noticed is that they take time to load which I actually sort of like in the early morning, they start a little bit more dim and after about 2 minutes reach maximum brightness. The cone ones have some sort of "yellow light" filter on them so it's not surgical room bright white. There are two lamps with kind of a crappy lampshade that seem maybe un-naturally white and bright but otherwise we've been really happy. I did two outdoor lights and they're working great too, this is in Colorado and they've operated in temperatures from negative 20 to about 100, still seem to work fine after 3 years.
I've heard the horror stories about spending $150 on lightbulbs only to have crappy light and having to replace a bunch of brokens but I haven't had that experience. Not sure if it's a brand issue or dirty power or something else.
