Let there be light.

I had intended to take an outdoor scenic shot today but the weather put the kibosh on that. What a downpour we had! So seeing as the low energy lightbulb in the office went kaput this morning, this alternative shot is of it's interior. Has anyone ever owned one of these bulbs that has actually survived as long as they say it will? If we get half the advertised working hours from one, we're doing well.
