5 yr compact fluorescent lasted 12 weeks

During the 3 months following the Live EArth concert I replaced nearly 36 incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents,with 5 yr warranty, throughout the house.12 weeks later an indoor compact failed.I could not get a refund because I didn't have a receipt and a log for which compact went where in the house and outside.

Let buyers be aware of this.

Comment On This

It's worse than that! I have the receipt and I can't get satisfaction!

1) I bought the bulbs at Wal*Mart. They say to return the defective bulbs to LoA.

2) My bulb's package says, "7 Year Bulb." The warranty, written in tiny print, sideways with a dark background says -- One year warranty. And, the bulb must be returned to LoA!

DO NOT BUY BULBS DISTRIBUTED BY LoA UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND THE EXACT TERMS OF THE "Warranty"!
