Phillips lights would blow the instant I turned on the

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......

CFLs may have a filament to start the ionization, but it isn't
the
primary light source, and doesn't have to be kept near melting
temperature for more than an instant....

I really really like LEDs, but they are just too damn expensive now.
I
only use them for flashlights and nite lights....
