Be aware that not all Par38 CFL lamps will fit in every PAR holder
socket. Many are built in such a way that the transformer hits the
lip of the socket before the lamp screws down to the tongue of the
socket.

Easily remedied by screwing in a socket extension (male-female extender,
available everywhere).

I just ran into some, that a ceramic socket extension wouldn't fit either

Hmm; guess there are all kinds of oddball lamps out there.

Wonder if there are any standards for CFL packages now, and if not, when
there will be? Don K?
