Re: Home building/living suggestions wanted.The self-ballasted CFLs are built to a low price point, and it wouldn't suprise me if they have issues with heat. Most of the cheap CFLs also say "not for use in recessed or enclosed fixtures" precisely due to these overheating problems, not that anybody reads the printing on the units. Yet another great example of consumers saying one thing ("we want good quality, low power consumption lighting") and voting very differently with their wallets. Unfortunately, LED lighting is on track to have similar issues, due to the wide variety of cheap crap on the market.</rant>
