I've had mixed results with the CFLs. I have a pair of them that are going on 6 years old and are still going strong, but others have died much sooner. A lot of it I'm sure is the number of on/off cycles. If they are anything like standard fluorescent bulb, they will last a long time with few on/off cycles, but will die very quickly if they are repeatedly cycled. My 5 year old killed a 1 year old CFL by constantly flicking it on and off when I wasn't watching. I also noticed the light never seems to last long in the bathroom, and it makes sense; not many people stay in the bathroom for hours on end.
LED bulbs shouldn't have the same issue, so I will slowly phase out my CFLs for the LED bulbs, especially in the high cycle areas. I've been waiting for years for the LED bulbs to come out, I'm glad they have figured it out finally.
