Two of my CFB have burned out within a year of installation in house lamps. Could it be from voltage spikes?

Ruby’sMom asked:


At this rate, they are not cheaper than the incandescent ones, and I would like to be able to use them.
I would also like to find some high-lumen ones for reading lamps.
Thank you for thinking of this.
One is used in year-old from W-M gooseneck lamp, other in base-sideways lamp that is 18 years old.
Thanks for Verilux suggestion, will check it out.

      The contact or poor contact or poor contact or poor contact or poor contact tab gets pushed into the socket and other tasks.
      For ones that one could be cheap brand they make full spectrum bulbs that one could.
