I think this is sometimes a little exaggerated. There is a

Also don't forget that they are generally larger (in size) than a normal bulb, I have fixtures that can't hold a fluorescent lamp. (the one I have now just barely fits in the fixture and it's a large hanging lamp...)

The ones sold in the UK are no larger than a "standard" lightbulb. Strange that yours are larger!
