I presume your talking about a CFL. How much light do you need? Or are you using it for heat?
Unless I forget like I do most times I don't want to, the life span is based on 4 hrs a day useage. All tho more $ (bought a few years ago) I use a LED in a lamp run from 2 hours to 6 hours a day and it might out last me. It consumes about 15 watts and is rated at 60 watts. It gets almost as hot as a reg bulb. We use many CFLs around here. I checked using a kill-a-watt to confirm the rated wattage and they were wrong. According to packaging 60W CFL light used 15W however mine use less, 10-13W. When replacing 3 60W incandesant bulbs with 3 CFLs power useage went down by about 144W. Another bulb we use in a room is a 4W nitelight and it's on 24/7. This is in a heated part of the house and in 6 years I've replaced one (1st one lasted 4 yrs).
I found a 10W LED bulb at WallyWorld couple years ago and it's outside on garage and it's pretty bright. I have this on a $3 timer set for 4 hours a night during winter and 2 hrs in summer. This bulb is rated for 50,000 hours. 4 hrs/day for 50,000 hrs life = 34 yrs, 2 hrs/day @ 50,000 hrs = OMG!!! Well worth the $10 I paid for it. LMAO

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
