Oh, one more thing I dislike (hate, loathe) about CFL bulbs is they will NOT fit in some sockets. A friend gave us a small fold-up Manger scene that came with a light fixture to illuminate it at night. We first tried a CFL.

Yup! You guessed it. It didn't fit. We finally wound up using a clear incadescent.

I have also found that true with my front porch sensor activated security lights. CFLs do NOT fit in a weather-tight socket.
Rusty, do you mean they will not fit the socket itself, due to the socket being of a non-standard type, or the bulb itself is too large or won't fit because of the sheer size of the bulb? If it's the latter, they are made in all bulb sizes.
