Well, xenon light is a high intensity discharge (HID) light. Very similar to MH and Flourecents in that they require a ballast to ignite and drive them. They are also extremely bright and used in such things as luxury car head lights to search lights on towboats. Obviously the ones on towboats are way to large for a fuge and the ones for a car would run off 12v. But I am sure that there would be something adequatley sized for your application.
I dont see why you couldnt use them on your fuge. But if you dont already have the setup, it would be cheaper to just get some spiral flourecents.
Just an FYI. When I worked on the boats, I installed probably 5 or 6 of theese guys

The remote control ones are really neat.
