I was looking for some of this information several years ago and found a 
Purchasing Agents guide in pdf format about CFL's and how to buy 
intelligently. There was a lot of good info in the guide including life 
for various cycles and including inverted operations. Unfortunately, I 
can no longer locate this pdf. :(

However, this web reference may be of some value: 
http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/compact_fl.htm

BTW, operating a bulb inverted shortens life considerably according to 
the testing. I keep CFL's in closets inverted with short "On" Cycles and 
have not suffered a failure (yet). RFI has not been an issue in my home 
(yet). Best, Chas
