Four CFLs in a cluster will be at least as happy as four incandescents in a cluster; possibly more so, given the much lower heat dissipation.
That’s only true if they’re built to tolerate heat as well as incandescents have to. Do you know they are?
Ooh … good question. I have no idea.
Mind you, my experience of CFLs is that they blow out well before their claimed lifetime anyway on the crappy electricity we have around here. But I really, really like having daylight spectrum bulbs.
