Try putting a CFL in a fixture outside, next to your front door.  When it's 
cold, it doesn't put out much light at all.

I haven't have one last 2 years yet - my last one lasted 3 weeks.  Guess 
what, R30-R40 shaped bulbs in ceiling fixtures, side by side on the same 
circuit, the CFLs last LESS time than the incandescent bulbs on the same 
fixture - I often HAVE to use CFLs, because it's all the local store 
stocks - I use them till I can get a bunch of incandescents in, and when 
they burn out, I put incandescents in
