Yes, at Scott Base, we had ordinary incandescent light bulbs in the companion ways between the buildings, and they worked OK.

But the outgoing team told us to leave them on all the time, as if they were switched off, their life would be shorter!

Naturally, being scientists, we didn't believe this fable, but it was correct. The operating temp is over 3400 degree K, so the ambient of -50 oC (min) shouldn't have made any difference, but difference it did. So we left them on all the time.

Maybe it was due to thermal stresses ??? DK

In the frig compartment of your home machine, the lamp in the warmer compartment works OK, but that compartment will be a few deg above freezing.

Can you use a regular bulb in a freezer?

A light bulb is already mostly frozen. The glass parts are in a state called a "glassy solid". The metal filament, filament supports and base are in a state we call a "solid". The only part of a light bulb which is not already frozen is the dilute gas inside it, which is normally a mixture of nitrogen and argon. Argon freezes at -200 C and nitrogen freezes at -210 C. So if you cool a light bulb down to -210 C (-346 F) then it will become completely frozen. Of course, it will still work.
