Vintage Light Bulbs

[Gavmacp]

These are the bulbs you see in trendy shops and hairdressers but there is quite a price difference. I have bought one brand name kingso relatively cheap as I want to see if I like the look. But is it worth spending £15 on a different brand that you get from John Lewis?

What do you mean,are you talking about the old tungsten filament bulbs?
My corner shop still stocks them 40 watt to 200 watt £0.40 p to £1.45 each.

That is a different type, the shop sells the ordinary old type bulbs.

I would not expect a more expensive version to be any better.

I suggest you try and watch last night 'Fake Britain' programme about cheap light bulbs sold on 'a well known auction web site' . Very scary.
