I got tired of my light bulbs breaking if I even looked
crooked at the bulb in my drop light - even the "Heavy
Duty Unbreakable/Rough Duty" ones would break easily.
The average bulb lasted about 5 uses before a bump would
break it.
I had bought a couple of CFLs to see how they worked,
and figured "What the heck?" and put one in the drop
light.
It's been in there for a couple of years now, and I've
had no problems with it. As others have pointed out,
they don't get very hot, so that's a welcome change too.
