Compact fluorescent light bulbs, halogen light bulbs,
other light bulbs

Appliance and ceiling fan light bulbs tolerate vibrations and temperature changes better than normal light bulbs.

Compact fluorescent light bulbs help the environment. They've been around for a while but seem to be growing in popularity now. They come in many shapes and sizes. They do initially cost a bit more than an incandescent light bulb but they're about four times as efficient and will last much longer. They can last up to 10 times longer than incandescent light bulbs. They use much less energy and produce much less heat. I'm using one in the lamp on my desk.

Halogen light bulbs are a white, intense, extremely bright light bulb. Also, a very compact beam spread. They're an excellent choice for lighting pictures or any type of accent lighting. Also, a good choice for undercabinet lighting. More and more people are using low voltage halogen lighting for their general usage today. It's a bit more expensive, but has become very popular. Caution should always be used when handling halogen bulbs because they get extremely hot. They should be turned off and allowed to cool before ever touching.
