No they are not the same. The old bulbs operated at 60 Hz and the new

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.

That is not true according to measurements made by the British
government.

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

No they are not. They are making the new florescence bulbs with the old
style base.
