They were total junk when they first came out and like anything else in
high volume production they learned how to make improvements. I can't
remember the last time I changed a bad one. And the big thing they
overcame was the slow startup. Now you turn them on and they are at full
brightness.

As far as GE you might ask Obama since his good buddy runs GE (remember
that company that doesn't pay taxes?).
