I converted to 100% fluorescent about five years ago or so, a total of 21 bulbs including two outdoor flood lights that I can think of. After five years, I have replaced maybe half of the bulbs one time and the others are still going fine, and I have saved 75% of the power cost to use incandescent bulbs through my house. None of my bulbs has burned up or anything similar. What is nice is, when they do burn out, they just go dark. None of that scary, shocking bright flash you see when an incandescent burns out. I also use fluorescent bulbs in my work lights, where I do not have to worry about burning my hand or fingers when I touch the lit bulb.
