About the year 1988, I had a lamp over my bench grinder.
Phillips lights would blow the instant I turned on the
grinder. GE brand bulbs would be fine. Perhaps the OP will
find a brand of bulb that lasts longer.

CFL have a heater filament, which might be a concern.

Also, CFL and LEDs don't have the problem with filament
stress,
and are usually more tolerant of voltage variations......
