I don't use CFLs so hopefully someone else will chime in with more useful advice. But in the meanwhile, I would look for anything that says something like: Full, Wide, daylight, cool, warm, etc.. otherwise, you'll have to look at the Kelvin scale rating and find a chart that correlates spectrum to Kelvin.

I've seen a lot of that lately - no clue what type of light, just wattage (with equivalent wattage in big print), total hours, and maybe total lumens. Nothing about warm, cool, wide, etc. If I buy any it looks like it's going to be from 1000bulbs.com.
