Woof,
Isn't there any concern about CFLs and vibration??
Are they rated for that application as are special incandescents?

In my case all the fans lights are hooked into dimmers, so I'd have to consider removing the dimmer and just running CFLs at full blast.
Need to find shorter CFLs for the globe section of the fan light, since the glass hits the bulb.

The latest CFL's I purchased say they are Dimmable on the packaging.

I've never heard anything about vibration being a problem with CFLs. I have been using them in Ceiling Fans ever since I've been using CFLs.
