I recently picked up a Delta 8" variable speed bench grinder.

The grinder works well and does what I need for sharpening lathe tools and similar such activities. Typically I've been leaving the speed set to the slowest (about 1700 RPM). With a normal incandescent light bulb (Sylvania 60W) in the lamp this generally works okay. If I bump up the RPM though, it can cause enough vibration in the lamp stalk that the bulb will stop working. I guess the filament gets rattled and then breaks.
So, can anyone recommend a better bulb to use in these things that's more resistant to vibration and won't break? I'm hesitant to use or try a compact florescent bulb (the swirly looking things) in it as they have mercury in them and I don't need a toxic hazard to deal with if the bulb gets broken.
