Has anyone else had problems with long life energy saving lightbulbs?

I changed to these bulbs because the government at the time said it would help to save the world and would save me money. I believe I have been lied to.

In the past four weeks, three long life bulbs have stopped working. One even caught fire!

They have cost me a fortune. One of them was just over a year old and the others were less than a year old. I have had old-style bulbs last more than five years.

I should have known better than to believe them.
