I too have a nicely shock protected fluorescent ...I think I got it at
COSTCO, but I still have my old Crapsman trouble light with the cord
retractor.  I've found that using the Teflon coated heavy service bulbs
makes it so that I don't often have to replace bulbs.  I also had pretty
good luck with the Philips long life bulbs with the heavy filament.

HTH!
