I can't remember now. I'm still trying to recall which filaments worked
best in our incandescent light bulbs, but Edison left the workroom.


Wolfram ones turned out best. (-: (Though even those are being made
obsolete by the next version: they're getting hard to find here [UK]
now, like Windows 7 is!)

By Job, I think you're right! :-)

Over here, they are phasing out 100W incandescents (and I imagine 60W will
follow soon).

The CFLs have come down in price, and aren't too bad (and are certainly more
energy efficient, of course). But one thing annoying about them is their
start-up or warm-up time. But such is progress...
