I have about a dozen CFLs just sitting on a shelf. I stocked up on incandescents the past couple of years. I didn’t mention that the incandescent in the lamp post has an electric eye, so it goes on and off slowly. No big surge to blow the filament.
I have long known that the surge is what shortens bulb life, so I put in sliding dimmer switches on our ceiling lights in the house. We have only had one bulb replaced in 2 1/2 years. The table lamp and floor lamps are what are using bulbs. I have a large supply of bulbs that should last us a while.
