Are 26/27W CFLs all 'Mini' ??

Before you start giving advice re: HPS/HID, please don't bother. This is simply a question about a specific CFL bulb and its variations.

Does anyone know whether or not 26/27 or 30W CFLs come in standard size, that is, in anything other than 'Mini' , 'Super Mini' or 'Ultra Mini' ? On the same topic, can I expect the same output from a Mini 30W as opposed to a physically larger 30W bulb ? (frankly, I dount it, as 30w = 30w..., but you never know!).

Thanks for reading,
Cheers

the normal size is E40, if you seach that on ebay or google it should bring them up. e40 is the size of the fitting. it should give out 30 if it says 30

sure, walmart/home depot have these in non mini sizes, they're what i use
in particular, there are GE 26w soft white that are not mini, very good lumens/watt ratio
