Still running strong. My wife uses it regularly... No complaints.

I agree with MMT someone needs to make an LED bulb with a candelabra base with 600-800 lumen output. I need to replace a bulb in my hunter ceiling fan. One of the two CFL's recently burned out. I tossed a 40W (equivalent) CFL in it because I had one, but I'd rather have LEDs. The 40W (equivalent) CFL is rather dim. The previous bulb was a 60W (equivalent) CFL, and I miss the missing lumens. I've also got a yard light with three Incandescent bulbs in it. Two of the three bulbs have burned out, and I will guinea pig that fixture if someone would make a candelabra base with reasonable lumen output.
