We have a ceiling fan with three light sockets attached. ONE of those sockets seems to burn out bulbs early. Filament bulbs last a few weeks, CFL bulbs have even shorted out! What is going on???
The other two sockets are fine. Those bulbs never burn out.

do they make cfl bulbs that I could place in my recessed lighting in my living room? right now it looks like the bulbs in them are simliar to a flood light bulb, it probably is not, but thats what they look like. Also these lights have dimmers on them, I figure i’d have to find a light that is ok with dimming
I also have 6 bulbs in my bathroom vanity that i would like to replace as well, i believe the sockets on those are smaller than the standard cfl bulb.

thoughts?
how much were the cfl for your recessed lighting at walmart?

my vanity lights are not as big as an orange, they are a bit smaller..
