Tried converting a story from TIFU to greentext because I'm bored at work.
I saved a Gimp Template while working on it: https://files.catbox.moe/ipnjzk.xcf
Depends on the CFL. I had to replace one in a fixture in my new house a few months after I bought it, and it was some goofy round one with a rectangular attachment point and some clips. Thankfully it was pretty easy to replace and was easily gettable from Dom Depot, but I was definitely surprised by the socket when I went to replace it.
That sounds like one of those fixtures where the ballast is in the fixture and the bulb is just a bulb, similar to a regular fluorescent light fixture. As opposed to the screw-in CFLs that most people are familiar with where the bulb also contains the ballast.
Those are kind of unusual in homes - I've mostly seen them in commercial applications like hotels and stuff like that.
