> Incandescent would be the traditional bulb-shaped light bulbs that Edison invented. Fluorescent would be those long tube things that flicker when you turn them on and radiate harsh white light instead of a softer white-yellow.

Additionally, fluorescents are great for playing like they're light sabres. A little imagination and the vocalized "whooogh whoooah" sounds, and viola, tons o' fun. Don't be afraid to smack them together, either. The harder, the better.

I suppose one could use incadescents as grenades or something. (as Beavis:) Yeah..huh...huh... That'd be cool.
