This was never about COMPACT fluorescents

Really ? I thought it was.

Never had any such trouble myself with them though.

The issue is mostly with fluorescents powered by electronic ballasts.
In home use, this is mostly with compact ones.

However, I do believe that in the past several years the more reputable
manufacturers have been taking this issue into account and making their
integral-electronic-ballast CFLs non-problematic in this area!
