GE States the Daily Life Cycling is :

Revised : "Life of a 'Test' Light Bulb" Analogy
.
GE's claim Life Cycle Testing Standard is Four (4) Hours a Day
One-On and One-Off Per 24 Hour Period in Theory. This may be
Accelerate by only letting the Bulb 'cool down' for only
48 Minutes and then repeating the Cycle. This would then result
in Five "Daily Use" Cycles in One Day with a 6000 Hour MTBF Life
Cycle Test taking about 300 Days (About 10 Months).

I find it amusing that a company that builds power plants also sells
terribly inefficient lighting devices.
