In extremely old refrigerators an ordinary light bulb will fit. Be sure to use the smallest wattage you can. I believe normal fridge bulbs are 40W.
The risk you run is they are not as rugged as a refrigerator bulb. It may break, causing glass to contaminate food. And a higher wattage could create enough heat that on busy days it may cause the temperature to rise enough to be a problem. When the door is closed the light is off, but if it is hot, the bulb takes a few moments to cool off and that may affect the cooling ability of the fridge.

Why do ordinary light bulbs take more electrical energy than efficient bulbs?
The filament on normal light bulbs require a higher current of electricity to light up, and are more resistant to electricity as well. This causes it to use more electricity and generate more heat.
Clear vs frosted light bulbs?
Those wanting softer, diffused light use frosted light bulbs. Clear bulbs give light that is brighter and suitable for everyday applications.
What light bulbs provide the most natural light?
Any natural light bulbs that use incandescent lighting will work well, and give off a rounder light than the "sterile white" lighting of normal bulbs.
What are the light bulbs that use a wire to conduct heat to male it glow?
It might be the energy saving bulbs.
Can you use carrots and onions to power light bulbs?
