Simple Question

I have a current I believe it is the satallite compact florescent lights. It is 2 96 watt lights. Question is how often do I need to relpace them. They have been in 1 year. Also what light is good and where to buy it.

you should change out power compact bulbs every 8-12 months. at this point, with bulb cost being almost as expensive as buying a new light, you might want to look into a T-5 fixture.
