Women have a more realistic approach to 'innovation' - if it works, don't fix it.
When you throw away a compact fluorescent you throw away the control gear as well. If the control gear is part of the fitting your only replace the lamp. It's the same idea as a fluorescent tube but smaller. You only throw away the tube not the control gear.

I think bayonet fittings are very poor and I prefer edison screw fittings.
