Default Fluorescent spiral lights, why not inclosed?

Some do not have a problem and some do. Check the packaging and the
printing on the lamp.

Enclosed fixtures allow more heat build up. The earlier CF were not
built with that in mind. I have noticed that most of the newer ones seem to
be OK with enclosed fixtures.
