Are CFLs reasonably resistant to heat?

One advantage seems to be that they produce less heat. I've used CFL
replacements for R25 spots in fittings at Mrs F's shop and also in the
house. The only headache IMO is that despite the claims, a 14W CFL does not
provide as much light as a 25W incandescent bulb.
