As much as I like these old-fangled multi-filament incandescent bulbs, there was a fairly decent reason for moving beyond incandescents that, in my mind at least, should be foremost in the mind of every designer - namely, the environment.
Also, and this is a beef I have with a lot of laser-cut stuff i see - a light that allows me to see the bright core of the bulb is instantly useless to me.

As an aside, have you considered doing slight discounts for bulk buys, and then approaching hip bars and restaurants and such?
- er, sorry - that was quite negative - I like them, but in context. They're not really my sort of thing, personally.detritus
- Yeah just launched last week, made a few sales so far. Trying to do exactly that, getting a bar outfitted. PS. The internet can never be to negative.hiten
- incandescents bans lobbied by CFL makers. CFLs more troublesome with the mercury inside, and land fill waste.deathboy

Not sure if it's just some perverse exchange rate thing, or I'm just incredibly cheap (probably the latter), but £90+ for the ‘Churchill’, which is essentially little more than a piece of wood with a bulb stuck to it, is borderline comical.
Although when I write things like that, I wonder whether I've turned 100% into my father... :)
