Chinese-Made 200w Bulb Internals
|
I found a 200w and 150w current-issue GE Crystal Clear at Sentry, Fairbanks' neatest hardware store if you're a lighting enthusiast. I'm talking lit with F96T12/HO and the sporting goods store upstairs still lit with F96T12 slimlines kind of cool, aisle endcaps with unopened cases of GTE Sylvania 3-way bulbs, California wattage clear bulbs in Alaska, still lots of oddball CFLs, and all kinds of other weird/unusual lighting stuff still in stock kind of cool. For being Chinese, these appear to be anything but the junk I would expect: They seem extremely well made, with a supported horizontal filament, not the saggy vertical type. These are as far as I know not yet banned in the US, thankfully. I thought about getting a 300w too but not for 7.99! Mind you, while really neat, this store is a little bit...OVERPRICED! That's why things sit on the shelves so long, but to my advantage!
