It's a bummer since I don't feel like purchasing new glass globes either. But here's a nice comparision... In the last 2 years since I put in a CFL in my closet's light/ceiling fan, I've burned out at least 3 or 4 regular bulbs in the matching light/ceiling fan in my bedroom. I have the globe off in the closet, but the globe is better in the bedroom because I don't get blinded if I look up at the fan.
