I'd like to replace the bulb in our lobby with a CFL, but it's a
glass globe fitting, with no ventilation - filament bulbs last
noticeably less time in that fitting than others. Are CFLs reasonably
resistant to heat? I guess I could replace the fitting, too, but
that lengthens the pay-back time even more.

Many are fine like this, but some arent. Suck it and see really. The
lower the power, the less likely trouble is to occur. The screwfix
spirals really object to this kind of treatment.
