Geeez, these lamps (which are good for *some* uses) are routinely on sale for 50 cents each. I bought a 4-pack for $2 2 weeks ago.
I find the estimates on their lifespan to be grossly overstated. And they can really suck in horizontal or upside down use. To be fair, those positions are counter-recommended. But the SOBs are still under a buck on sale.

We have had them horizontal for three years. No failures. Also regular cfl's in ceiling fans. No failures.
