Yes, that's a good question. Do brands matter? Westinghouse, Panasonic,
Sylvania, TCP etc.?
You can get different colour CFLs from a single manufacturer. Basically,
some give you the choice of whether you want a colder or warmer colour.
Philips, for example, sells soft white and daylight versions.
You can also get instant-on, dimmable, pot light replacements and others.
Some electronic ballast versions can handle temperatures down to -29C
and are suitable for outdoor use.
There are many types and different features available. If you're close
to a few big box reno stores, a visit and some reading of the fine print
on the packaging can tell you a lot. Google as well.
