ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area CFL's in incandescent fixtures

That article does not address the "reflector" issue.
These CFLs, even most of the ones that look like "R" bulbs, still have the ballast above the reflector so the heat is not radiated out of the can.
I know a CFL 65w equivalent R bulb died an early death in an H-101 in my yard. The ballast was chocolate colored.
