I've heard you can salvage some good rectifiers and maybe a transistor or
two from dead CF bulbs.

And now "they" are trying to do away with edison bulbs. I hope the LED
equivalents are better, because the CF bulbs seem to last less in most
home apps. (I have "standard" bulbs that have outlasted multiple CF bulbs
in similar applications) In particular, I have a 75W desk lamp bulb which
has been in use since '97 and gets more hours than the ceiling CFs in the
same room, which have been replaced at least 3 times...
They are not enclosed or abused. I was really PO'd at the short life of my
first set of CF lamps. They seem to be doing better now, but still there
is no great enhanced life span.

Warning: Way OT
When the vacuum tube was born, there were half as many people on
this planet, and global climate change wasn't a problem. Very few
people will talk about populution. It's as if there was a blind
spot in the brain. Maybe there's no intelligent life in the
Universe because all life evolves with similar selection pressures.
Once technology removes natural predators (or stops world wars with
the atomic bomb), population heads for the sky until the big die-off.
If other people don't have a problem with having four kids, I have
no problem with using vacuum tubes and Edison bulbs.
All in my humble opinion, of course.

Nostalgia?
Valves (tubes) warmer in close proximity, yes. Global warming should
make that, on average, less helpful.

glowing bulbs
Other than that memory, and certain trade-offs at big Rf power, I'll say
I no longer encourage the glowing bulbs for most things.
