What does 10K means in a CFL light bulb?

0

In the abbreviated nomenclature used in discussing CFL light bulbs, as well as other types of fluorescent bulbs, 10k (which means 10,000), refers to the average life expectancy of the bulb in hours.  Hence, a 10k CFL bulb can be reasonably expected to work under normal conditions for approximately 10,000 hours.
