The compact fluoresent lamps have some after glow but that
should not be a problem for a safelight. I don't think they
run hot enough to cause problems with the paper.

Thanks, and to everyone who suggested something. I went to another lighting
store today and found a bunch of GE 15 watt bulbs (made in Hungary).I bought
six, so I am set for a long time.

I'm still thinking about the other possibilites as I need more safelights,
and I doubt that there more Beehive lamps around (here).
