Incandescent light simply has too much heat. Actually that mercury bulb you refer to is a plain and simple fluorescent lamp. Apart from the heat, incandescent light does not have the proper color temperature (too warm or not white enough) to get true whites on a display not to mention the larger amount of energy needed.

I don't see the point myself, but I'll [almost] stop short of saying it's silly. -- "Sorry for not responding to your post, but either I haven't seen it yet, or what you said was so devoid of substance that I found it utterly uninteresting."
