CFL's turn off

I hooked them all up and only 1-2 work out of 6 CFL bulbs after a day or so. Why would my almost all of my bulbs stop working, they are very very dim when they stop working.

I'm guessing faulty bulbs? Take them back to the shop and swap them - if the problem persists then perhaps it's your setup? (Doubt it tho)

Try them in a lamp socket inside the house. If they work fine your setup is bad somehow.
Check the voltage. Do not use CFL's on dimmers.

Good luck.

Turns out that they turn off because they were over heating. I drilled a ton of holes in the hoods near the CFL ballasts and no problems since.
