Turns Out Those Twisty Light Bulbs Aren’t That Great

Remember when those new, energy-efficient twisty light bulbs came out and people started instantly judging you for having regular old light bulbs?  Yeah . . . turns out the twisty ones are good, but aren't QUITE as miraculous as advertised.

The light bulbs were originally estimated to last 9.4 years.  In reality, their lifespan is 6.3 years . . . making them a THIRD less effective than people thought.

And while that's still way better than the old kind . . . these bulbs just aren't exactly as great as predicted. So if someone give you grief about having regular light bulbs you might want to tell them to shhhhs.
