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 - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
