Just remeber, as I understand it, most CFL's are not made to be run
upside down.

BULL****! Most light bulbs are installed upside down, maybe you need a
good whack upside the head!!


** Some CFLs are alleged to have a shorter life if run bulb upwards.

So bulb down is the norm.

I thought it was just the opposite - and I surmised that the reason was
that the bulb was the heat source, and putting it ABOVE the base allowed
most of that heat to dissipate via convection.
