W H A T ?

I guess you're not familiar with the type of lamp shade that clamps onto a
bulb, and that it's awkward to clamp such a shade onto a spiral compact
flourescent bulb rather than a standard bulb. Although I did get this type
of shade to clamp onto a spiral compact bulb, and it worked for me, I was
just saying I'm not recommending others do the same thing, since if you wind
up breaking the bulb it would be a bad thing because these bulbs do contain
a small amount of mercury.
