Is the outer shell glass, or something more durable, like a polymer?
With glass, if the inside gets broken, there's a pretty good chance
the outside cover would also be broken by the same trauma.
It is Glass -but- not 'thin' Light Bulb Glass
It is Thicker and More Durable like the Glass
on a Halogen Bulb
.
Halogens have quartz envelopes don't they?
Dave read the Links.

The 'process' seems to be that the Start-Phase
is a small Halogen Igniter placed in the center
of the larger CFL Spiral Tube [Empty Hollow] :
After the Instant-On Warm-Up the Second-Phase
CFL takes over for long-term Low Power Light
but Quality Light Output.
Most CFLs 'Fail' due to their Electronics :
Not the CFL Tube itself : This may be a way
to reduce these Failures and Improve the
over-all Service Life of CFLs.

Globe 2-in-1 CFL Bulb and LED Night Light
Have a couple of these in-use
CFL when you need it 'Bright' and
LED Night-Lite when at night

1-Each : Works Great in a Dark Hall/Passage
in the middle of the House
2-Each : Works great on an Up-Stairs Landing
at the Top of the Stairs
again... interesting dual 'hybrid' technology ~ RHF
