I changed all the lights here to CFLs 3-4 years ago. That because I switched to 100% solar power. Inside and outside. Never paid more then $1 for a bulb and have them in 60W,100W and 150W equivalent (to Edidon bulbs). They've worked fine, even in temps of 15F below. Had a few burn out here and there, but no big deal.
Technically many curly CFLs do indeed have filiments inside. They are sort-of hydrids. Filiment is impregnated with materials that glow, i.e. "flouresce." Some do, some don't.
The older bulbs that used to sell for near $10 each did not have filiments and many barely worked at all in cold temps.
I don't get the big deal about these bulbs. They certainly DO save electricity. For those that don't want them? Stock up on the Edison bulbs. They will never be illegal in the USA, although production will likely be more-or-less phased out. New buildings might also require CFLs. Buy them now before they become expensive "specialty" items.
I still can't figure why anybody intentionally wants to waste resources when absolutely not needed.
