They can last up to 15,000 hours. 10 times the life span of a standard incandescent bulb. But manufacturers admit the bulbs life is much shorter if its turned on and off constantly as in a kitchen.

S if theyre not going to be on at least 15 minutes as in the bathroom. What can you do in your bath for instance . Consider newer l. E. D. Bulbs that use as Little Energy as c. F. L.
