Wow, I never knew that was inside CFLs. But I must say, I've never had to change a CFL bulb. Still have the one I bought about 6 years ago.

The diagram for a CFL looks eerily similar to the 2014 F1 propulsion system

As a side note: I've actually had 3 CFLs catch fire. That is their mode of failure: overheating of the circuitboard (as opposed to simply severing a filament wire which immediately cuts off the electric current in an incandescent). It melts the plastic housing and turns it brown, but since there are no actual flames the CPSC considers them to be OK If you ever smell burning plastic inside your house, check the CFLs first. If the white plastic housings are turning yellow or brown, they have been overheating.
