Hello community,
my question is if there is an "incandescent" t5 21watt bulb that i can substitute for a florescent bulb housing.

i run a motion sensor under the bed so that i don't trip over or bump into anything that's laying around when i get out of bed in the middle of the night. Ive heard that incandescent bulbs don't take into account the frequent on/off of a bulb, resulting in a longer life when compared to a florescent bulb.

appreciate all the help in advance~
 
The answer is no, you cannot put an incandescent lamp in a fluorescent fixture.
