I have started changing all the bulbs in my house to these. I first started changing them out about 18 months ago and only have about 4 more to go before I will have only these kinds of bulbs in my home. I still will not just take the others out and change them, I wait until one is out and change each one over as they go. I can already see a difference in the power use in my home. It is also brighter when the lights are on with these than it is where the older style bulbs are still burning. So far I have only had to change one of the newer ones back out, even though they are supposed to last three to five years, I suppose that you can still count on getting a bad one every now and then. But the older ones were that way too, right? Main thing though is that I have already saved the price of my bulbs back in the power bill. I did not get mine at the retail stores though. I went to the traveling tool sales that go through the area every once in a while and paid about a quarter of the price that I have seen then everywhere else.
