Light Bulbs

Can you use the new spiral light bulbs inside a globe on a ceiling fan or other light fixture?
In the past I read warnings on the new spiral bulbs not to use them inside globes, which I have on my ceiling fans and in some ceiling light fixtures. They represented a fire hazard, according to the warning. I don't find that same warning on the spirals I buy today. I don't want to leave the globe off and leave this spiral light bulb exposed. Are the new spiral lights acceptable to use inside light globes?
Yes, the new ones run way cooler than the old and certainly cooler than incandescent bulbs. I have them in several fixtures and have seen no sign of over heating or discoloration. The fact that the new bulbs do not carry the warning also tells you that its safe to do so. -- Companies are always careful to cover their legal behinds with extraneous warnings. I especially like the one that came with my new steam iron: Warning: Iron may become hot with use. New Phillips shavers come with instructions to rinse under hot water after use and "Take care not to burn hands under hot water".
