Just this week, one of those original CFLs died. I believe it's the first one to go. I pulled out a replacement and the difference in size and shape was surprising. New ones, even the off-brand ones, are much more compact and attractive.

The one thing about some CFLs is that it takes a few moments to come on. Some folks not knowing better will flip the switch off then on again trying to get it to come on. In some multi socket lamps I stick a low wattage bulb in one so that it will let them know the power is on. Other than that I have switched over completely to CFLs and some LED as well. It's made a difference in my bill, not to mention helping the environment. And I didn't spend more than a buck on any one of them, some I got a 3 for a dollar deal!
