Back in the 1970s, I bought a Phillips made in Netherlands CFL from a
local area W.T.Grant store which was going out of business.It was a
three parts Phillips CFL unit, three seperate parts which I plugged
together.I used that Phillips CFL in my bathroom untill the bulb burnt
out over fourteen years later.I currently use two CFLs in my house, one
in my kitchen and one in my bathroom.I never turn them off.
