There are no compact fluorencent bulbs in the hotel. If asked, the staff simply says they've proven unprofitable.
If a PC puts a compact fluorencent into one of the hotel's sockets (in, say, their room), about five minutes after the first time it is switched on, in will shatter—indeed, explode is not too strong a word. If the PC replaces the compact fluorencent, the second one will explode immediately upon being switched on.
This does not occur if the compact fluorencent is in a free-standing lamp, with the lamp plugged into an outlet. The problem only occurs with compact fluorencents in the built-in sockets.
