You can definitely find smaller CFLs. My house is old and has a lot of places where there used to be gas lamps and instead tiny electric lamps have been put in, so I have several 8, 10, and 13 watt CFLs in my house. I think I got almost all of them at either Lowes or Costco. Here is a GE one: http://www.amazon.com/Lighting-Compfluo-85382-Compact-Fluorescent/dp/B0044UOU44 http://www.amazon.com/Lighting-Compfluo-85382-Compact-Fluore... Though of all the ones I tested the Sylvania seem to have the most pleasant color temperature, and online I can only find their 13W ones.
