 67% failure rate after ONE DAY. November 2, 2008

I purchased 2 packs (4 bulbs) of ULA's "Dimmable" CFL's yesterday. Installed 3 of them yesterday and today 2 of them no longer work. This is unbelievable. "Lasts up to 7 years" the box says. These didn't last seven hours. They didn't cost much, but they would be a bad buy at any price.

I have an X-10 home automation system that I use to turn on and off the outside lights (among other things). I bought these in hope that they would work on the outside. While the light goes on and off using the switch (which most CFLs will not), they do not work with the X-10 system...I must manually turn the light on or off. In contrast, the old dimmable Philips Earth Lights that I have all work with the X-10 system. Problem is, I can't buy them anymore. Overall, I was pretty disappointed.
 ULA CFL DIMMABLE PROBLEMS IN RECESSED FIXTURES June 23, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
ULA CFL DIMMABLE LIGHTS HAVE AN UNACEPTABLE FAILURE RATE IN RECESSED FIXTURES WHICH ARE NOT INCLOSED. SO FAR OUT OF 100 BULBS I HAVE HAD A FAILURE RATE IN EXCESS OF 12% IN LESS THAN ONE MONTH.
I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER WHO ASKED ME TO MAIL HIM THE BULBS SO THAT THEY COULD DETERMINE THE REASONS FOR THEIR FAILURE. HE PROMISED TO SEND ME OUT ADDITIONAL BULBS TO COMPENSATE ME FOR ADDITIONAL FAILURES AND FOR THE COST OF SHIPPING. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM HIM AFTER REPEATED INQUIRIES.
IF YOU HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THESE LIGHTS THE ULA LIGHTING PERSON I SPOKE WITH WAS:

The light quality is fine. But the buzzing from the bulbs is quite irritating when they are even slightly dimmed.

I bought a four pack of these bulbs because I wanted a kitchen light that I could dim because it currently uses 3 60 watt conventional bulbs.
I read the reviews and these looked pretty good. The only thing they didn't tell you was that they cannot be used in an enclosed fixture. The only place that limitation is mentioned is in small type on the bulb base.
Of course I didn't see that until the bulbs burned out. They only lasted about a week. I don't know of any dimmable fluorescent bulb that can be used in an enclose fixture. There should have been a better warning on the package and in the specifications. i am very displeased.
