Its temperature seems to depend more on maker than wattage, so I suspect
that they have been mostly dumb, but maybe just on the safe side just in
case.

Got a lampshade from The Range and the sticker inside says
"Lamp shape picture of traditional bulb shape 60W
Lamp shape picture of CFL 12W"

This has me puzzling.
Is there something about CFLs which makes the base much hottter than a
traditional bulb?
What about the CFLs with a globe around the outside which look like
traditional lamps?
Or has someone done a dumb thing and thought "The equivalent to a 60W
filament bulb is a 12W CFL so that is the maximum size of CFL to fit"?

Struggling to find the logic here.

Cheers
