The use of a flourescent bulb also probably removes a danger that most
people would never consider. A fella I went to college with changed
trades after becoming a Tool and Die maker, and set to work as an
automotive mechanic. One day, while he had a car up on a hoist,
searching for a fuel leak, his trouble light fell, and the exposed
filament was engergized long enough to ignite the small amount of fuel
present. It wasn't much fuel, but because it was spread over a fairly
large area, it was a big enough fire to burn him pretty badly. He's fine
now, but it could have been much worse.
