If you say so, but most of the fixture designs predate the
development of CFLs.


Some CFLs, I believe, are marked as not being suitable for "upside-down"
installation, because in this position they'll overheat if there isn't
sufficient circulation.


I have one here telling you: "Do not use this product near any
maritime safety equipment, critical navigation or communication
equipment operating between .45 - 30 MHz"
