Re: Home building/living suggestions wanted.


There are CFLs in all the fixtures in the common areas of our building.  I thought about half of them were dead.  But we had a power outage today, and when the power came back on, the "dead" CFLs were lit.  Are there problems with CFLs in "always on" fixtures?  What would make one go out, but come back when you cycle the power?  Do the little ballasts in the base overheat and shut off?
