Given their relative complexity, a better question would be "How come CFLs
have been so cheap up till now?".

They were very heavily subsidised for a time by the energy companies who
were misguidedly given taxpayer funds by guvmint to promote 'green
energy'.

I stocked up when Tesco were selling 'em for 10p each. Still hate the
bloody things though.

Were they given government funds? I thought the cost was just added to
everyone elses bills.
