Or leave a candle burning in there.

Really? I know the size factor is the same, but what makes an "appliance" light bulb special then? Is it just marketing?

Appliance bulbs are rated for hotter and colder temperatures than regular or fan bulbs. They're also slightly different in size compared to fan bulbs.
