And, we are very glad that you enjoyed the illumiNation program. We are currently in the process of breaking the presentation into 3 - 5 minute segments that can be viewed on demand on TCP’s websites in the near future. Lamp life was one of the questions that was asked during illumination. There are many reasons why a CFL may not last the fully intend life. Without knowing specific details of the CFLs usage, there are some common cause that may lead to premature failure of a CFL - Using a Standard CFL with dimmer, timer, or photocell; Using a CFL over 23 watts in a fully enclosed fixture; and Using Non-covered CFLs in a open exterior location. In addition to these, there are many “off-brands” of CFLs are on the market that consumers should be wary of. All TCP’s CFLs have a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. If you, or anyone you know has a SpringLight CFL that is not functioning as intended, please direct them to http://www.springlightcfl.com/warranty.aspx. Or for TCP manufactured bulbs, please direct them to http://www.tcpi.com/corp/warranties.aspx. Hi Chris - Thanks for visiting our new blog.

Kudos on the new blog and the illumiNation event, I thought it was very well done and informative. A great execution of marketing web 2.0-style. You should get the clip of Ellis holding the mercury pellet out there, its great. Did you receive many complaints/questions about lamp life? I am hearing many complaints from friends who use CFLs and don't get the long life they are expecting. I'm concerned it will have a negative affect on a technology we really need to get consumers to adopt. Let me be the first to jump in and comment on your new blog.
