Yes. There are several different makes of Compact Fluorescent Reflector Spot Lamp (CFRSL) available. Some makes of CFRSL have a longer overall length than the equivalent conventional incandescent spot lamps so they don't look right in older types of conventional reflector spot lamp fitting. (They look better in the latest up-to-date fittings.) In Europe Megaman and SwissLight are two examples of the makes available. GE of USA makes them too. Megaman and SwissLight each make a Type R80 CFRSL which is so similar in size to the conventional incandescent R80 spot lamp that they look great in the older type of conventional reflector spot lamp fitting. I use five such Megaman Type R80 CFRSLs for 240 Volts AC in my kitchen here in England. Each lamp takes only 15 Watts power but gives the same light output as a 75 Watts standard R80 incandescent reflector lamp. (Type R80 is a Reflector lamp that is 80 mm maximum diameter, with a Regular size Edison screw.)
