An A-type bulb is just your standard shape light bulb The lamp manufacturer means you shouldn't use a flood light bulb or something like that in it...an A-type bulb and a standard compact fluorescent bulb are interchangeable Sources: my knowledge .

Compact fluorescent lamp A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also known as a compact fluorescent light or energy saving light (or less commonly as a compact fluorescent tube CFT), is a type of fluorescent lamp. Many CFLs are designed to replace an incandescent lamp and can fit into most existing light fixtures formerly used for incandescents. Compared to general service incandescent lamps giving the same amount of visible light, CFLs use less power and have a longer rated life.In the United States, a CFL has a higher purchase price than an incandescent lamp, but can save over 30 US$ in electricity costs over the lamp's life time.2 Like all fluorescent lamps, CFLs contain mercury, which complicates their disposal.

CFLs radiate a different light spectrum from that of incandescent lamps. Improved phosphor formulations have improved the subjective color of the light emitted by CFLs such that some sources rate the best 'soft white' CFLs as subjectively similar in color to standard incandescent lamps.3 Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp .
