Another problem is opening up the CFL to get to the circuit board and
reattaching the cover because regular glues don't work, and you want a
strong bond that won't fail at high temperature.


** Most CFLs use no glue at all, the halves snap fit together.

Silicone adhesive ( eg Silastic) will handle the case temp easily -

can be
used to secure loose glass tubes in the case too.


Last time I looked that's what they stuck 'em in with in the first place.
