They are hard to read by and dim with age. In my experience they don't last as long either.

I've used these bulbs for 8 years. All bought at Home Depot. My electric bill is rarely above $45, unless I'm running air conditioning. Modest size house, three people. I don't remember one burning out, although one may have. They take a little time to reach full intensity, but other than that...

Try getting some stronger bulbs, and learn to check the color temperature first. That's something you're not used to doing with incadescents, which are simply labeled as regular or cool white to indicate color.
