Anything but 1st Gen Compact Fluorescent
I'd take a lamp with a good bulb any day over the early adopters of compact fluorescent bulbs that take several minutes to warm up to full brightness. The new ones are fine, too bad they last a good number of hours.
The Hilton Long Island Melville and Sheraton Four Points Plainview I am talking to you. I can't imagine they don't have a bunch of knocked over bedside lamps and radios destroyed and patrons tripping all over the place.
