I like the squiggly bulbs...I get em cheap on sale and they do save me money on electricity...plus beside my guns, my hundreds of pounds of lead, many lbs of various gunpowders and my viles of mercury, I now have another dangerous source of mercury....cool.

I also have some applications that I will only use incandescent bulbs....so I do have a bit of a stock of these...

A German entrepreneur has found a way to get around a European Union ban on bright, incandescent light bulbs. He's selling them as mini-heaters, whose side-effect happens to produce light

I’m with you. I don’t understand all the people who profess to have aesthetic objections to the squiggly bulbs. After all, a bare Edison bulb is not exactly a thing of beauty. Not to mention the fact that they’re almost all under lampshades or concealed within fixtures anyhow.

Maybe there’s a survivalist aesthetic of which I am unaware. Some people sound like they live in bunkers, sit on ammo crates, and consider a bare Edison bulb dangling down on an exposed wire to be an essential part of the decor. Idaho chic, I suppose.

I converted to the squiggly bulbs long ago. They do save an electricity, but mainly I like not having to run to the store to replace them.
