That can indeed be a problem. And that's one reason I refuse to purchase CFLs with power factors below 95%. And why I buy from a vendor that provides the numbers, so I can make choices like that. 'Course, I don't think they ship outside the US, and the bulbs they sell won't work for you unless you use compatible fixtures (and voltage, and frequency, and safety standards, and...). So, as usual, your mileage may vary.
