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.


** Bulb down IS the norm for incandescent lamps and in most case CFLs
too.

For lamps used in open fittings, there is no significant difference in
temp
rise.

Fittings that trap air around the base of a CFL will cause the
electronics
to overheat whatever way up the are.

So the allegation is meaningless.


Which allegation is that?


** The one with the word "alleged " in front it - ****wit.

Rest of your trolling bull**** flushed where it deserves.
