Re: Wrong lightbulbs...
I've still got a load of CFL lights in the house... I've lived here 11yrs and I fitted all CFL lights when I bought the house. I've had 2 of them fail in 11yrs... but as I replace them I'm switching to LED ones.
As for the LED ones I do have... some of them have lasted 6-7yrs so far... so quality is not an issue.
I have no idea what old Grumpy Trumpy is doing to make them fail so often.
