I found these sites of interest:

www.sylvania.com
http://www.ge.com/en/product/home/lighting.htm

At the GE site, there's a story about them selling the 100,000,000,000th Reveal? light bulb. I wonder how they figured that out.

Also, I noticed that Sylvania refers to them as 'lamps', but GE refers to them as 'light bulbs'.

:D

3 to say that the incandescence from lightbulbs is too harsh; that's why they only use candles

3 to argue that there is absolutely no difference between light bulbs and candles

1 to tie this all in to how the lightbulb industry has changed for the worse in the last 20 years

It's pointless discussing light bulbs here really, when there's a whole thread of it in the gear reviews!
You meant lamps, right?? Please tell me you meant lamps!

I'm thinking of putting in LEDs instead of lightbulbs.

Actually, I'm serious about that. Ignore me.

I'm currently running NOS GE Bulbs. Sure they cost a bit more, but woe! Talk about warm light!

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid

Who's had a positive experience with the new Soft White bulbs? I've heard they cast a really cool light, but then my buddies say that the GE 25W halogen is really nice too.

I use candles for light. You get nice analog, warm, vintage glow, rather than the digital light you get from a blub or lamp. The only thing light bulbs are good for is eating...when they are on fire of course.

Shouldn't there be an item in the list like

"12 to tell you how much better Steve Albini can do it."

Just trying to be helpful...

Those Scandanavian blue 'daylight' bulbs (for Ennuits who get SAD and stuff) are SHITE!!! They're about as natural as my arse.

Is this thread done yet?

I just think the lightbulb should stay the same wonderful bulb it has always been. Why go a'changin'?

Can anyone recommend a good lightbulb for 3 cents?
