I hope so, because compact fluorescents, at least the cheap Chinese ones we get in the US, are awful. I have no idea why I don't hear more about this, but I can smell a horrible chlorine-plastic smell from them after they've been running for a couple of hours. It is an acrid smell that makes my nose feel strange. I've tried many different brands - Sylvania, GE, Feit electric, Great Value - which are all rebranded Chinese manufacturer products, of course. I used to be able to find some bulbs that did not do this, but not any longer. I'm pretty sure these fumes are toxic from how they make me feel. If you've never noticed it, go buy 4 Sylvania CFLs and run them in a closed room overnight. The room will smell like chlorine in the morning.
