More anecdotal evidence.. I bought a few packs of cheap "Globe" brand CFL bulbs on Amazon, and had several failures after about 2 weeks. These were just in a normal ceiling fixture in the kitchen, which we only use a few hours a day. Sadly, the packages mention a guarantee, but there seems to be no way to claim it. They're Chinese made bulbs imported through Canada and the company doesn't respond to phone or email. OTOH, the Ikea branded CFL bulbs we bought have been working fine for years. I guess you get what you pay for..
