Re: Lightbulb help.

Those are CFL (Compact flourescent) nasty things with Mercury in and usually slow to get going. I've also had two go off with a bang. You can still get them and they're better than they used to be.

Modern lamps are LED*, quick to start and often dimmable. Fully solid state. Long life. They contain no nasty stuff and available in a variety of styles.

*Light emitting diode. A specially manufactured crystal that emits strong blue light in this case. Covered with a phosphor that converts some of the blue to yellow, by varying the mix you get the different qualities (Colour temperature) of white.
