Default CFL in Fridge

Anyone know if it is safe to use a CFL in the fridge?

I tried at 9w one out and it seems to work fine.

I do not think it will save me much money in lighting costs, however
the heat from a normal bulb is significant and I was thinking not
having a bulb heating the fridge every time it is open might make it
advantageous.

I am however worried that the bulb (mercury) might cause problems with
food.

Anyone able to provide insight?


Good trolling stuff! Totally OTT. Do watch out for those great big globs
of mercury that drop out of the lights!
