Whats the reason behind burn out of CFL?
I used it for just 4 months and it burned out.
Why so? due to high voltage or something?? or any other reason.

Well, I think that might have happened due to high voltage.
Sometimes, in some cases that just happens due to high voltages and can be same in your case i think.

That also happens if there is some technical fault in the CFL.
I think you must have got a guarantee of 1 year.
So, go and get it changed, you will get a new one for it.

This type of burnouts happen only when there is a manufacturing fault in it.
So, you should go to the dealer and get it exchanged as you must have got 1 year warranty on it.
My CFL's work for around 2 years.

There can be any reason behind the burn out of CFL.
But most of time it happens due to company fault.
I am sure the company will replace and give you a new one.

They're small and they create heat when there's a high voltage which causes them to self distract.

I bought several that wouldn't work right out of the package. WalMart wouldn't exchange them either.
