Did you know that R-20 CFL reflectors are about 1″ longer then their Incandescent or Halogen counterparts?  We just found out about this issue because one of our customers purchased a bunch of R-20’s for recessed lighting in their homes and the bulbs stuck out beyond the ceiling edge of the recessed can!  So…please be sure to measure the depth of your can when ordering R-20 CFL from ANY location…..as they might not fit.  Many of the newer R20 can’s have taken this into account and have added the extra inch into their cans.
