Cheap bulbs with old technology are cheaper. None of the later CFL bulbs I bought before converting to LEDs had that problem. In fact,I would examine the packaging, which usually would indicate warmth level of the light and that they were instant on. A bargain price doesn't always deliver a top quality product. 

I think its understandable I would misunderstand your size reference. I was talking about bulb size, you were referring to socket size but using the word bulbs.No matter, we seem suddenly engaged in a semantic argument Why is that?

And "good grief" back at you! Did you actually think I didn't understand the Bush mandate? That is the name used for the phaseout; the Bush mandate!
Mandates might force you to either use or not use something. We have a long history of mandates to not use leaded gasoline and to use catalytic converters. There are mandates and regulations to not pollute or to phase out workplace dangers. It cuts both ways.
