No they are not the same. The old bulbs operated at 60 Hz and the new
smaller bulbs operate in the kilohertz range. The other problem is these
smaller bulbs are used closer to people increasing the UV damage.

There is no UV damage to increase. You get more UV from a few minutes
in the sun than you'd get from a year of sitting near a lamp.

Edison base light fixtures are getting phased out; so hoarding bulbs is
silly.
