Rough service bulbs I'm familiar with have heartier filaments with extra support. The idea is that they can take more jostling, not that they put out less light.

I started putting CFL bulbs in my work lights years ago. They don't have to be "rough service" to withstand hard use. But they are starting to die! So are other CFLs in my house.
