Yeah.  The computer room here used to be a lawyer's office, and
had 1200 W of candelabra based filament bulbs in fancy glass globes.
Now it has maybe 150W or less of CFLs in chinese tissue spheres;
Much nicer, especially in the summer...

A fair number of the early failures in my CFLs seem to be due
to ruptured electrolytics; not quite up to the heat, I guess.
