Can you use CFL light bulbs in your refrigerator, and if so, is there a specific type?

Question

I was just cleaning out my fridge and burned my hand on the bulb inside the fridge. I know that CFL's burn cooler so it seems to make sense... But what about condensation, temperature, and wattage?

Answer 1

The bulbs used in appliances are usually about 15 watts and the bulb itself is made a lot smaller so that it will fit in the space provided. I havent heard of any cfl made to fit in the small space. But agin I haven't looked at either of the big box stores lately If it fits in the socket then it should work just fine
