I guess you have not beem keeping up with the times. Practically ANY light
fixture made for incandesents I can slip a Phillips CPF in it, even my
"bankers" task light I have on my desk right now. About the ONLY type of
incansecent fixture that one cannot put the small size CPF in are the light
fixtures that take those candle type incandescents found in many homes, but
that is about it! Get up to speed on what is out there!
