Same result. I moved into my current place in 1999, and the first thing I did was replace the bulbs in the dining room fixture. Dreadful, TVA-designed "all-new, all-electric!" house with glaring fixtures directly overhead. One lamp burned out about a month later and I didn't care. The other two lamps are still there, and that's the dining room - quite a lot of hours there. It gets about 2.5 hours per day, more in winter. Those CFs will actually deliver on their promised 20,000 hours, unlike lots of others I've seen.
