On a similar theme, I also have had trouble with getting anything like
the advertised life out of CFL spotlight bulbs. On reading the small
print on a replacement I purchased, I read that they aren't suitable for
putting in recessed and other enclosed fittings, which of course are
just the kind of fittings you need spot bulbs for.

Perhaps - but only if adequately ventilated - in the most powerful of
situations
a fan is necessary . If used in an open bare lamp situation it produces its
own ventiation.
