New lamps are often meh. Polish Philips are OK. Chinkshit is OK is to utter shit depending. New old stock is your best bet for quality but you will pay out the ass cuz scalpers. >tfw stocked up in 2007 to 2012
>oil lamp pill
Is there such a thing? I made a makeshift one one where I put in my used kitchen oil (usually animal lard)
Its very comfy for darker nights and somewhat last quite a bit longer than candles.
I use an used sardine can, regular cotton cord, and a makeshift thingy out of steel wire to hold the cord, it gives good light and I haven't got soot yet, tho it does smells fatty and sometimes even tasty as the food that was cooked in it.
Led don't buzz unless you have some kind of amazing shitty bulbs or massively unreliable power. I get how schizophrenia can frick with you regardless though. Enjoy your incandescents.
Temperature is not CRI
They still look like shit
I miss incandescent
Yeah clearly that is why every photo nerd is swapping back to incandescent OH WAIT!
srsly do some digging and you would be amazed at how good modern LEDs can get. If you really want the old astetic of an obsolete tech then you do you, but at least admit it's a larp.
>If you really want the old astetic of an obsolete tech then you do you, but at least admit it's a larp.
It really is a golden age where practically every product, tool, and/or technology offers an opportunity to engage in "the old ways are better!" faux sagacity.
What's funny is it used to be the realm of bitter old codgers who were resistant to change and rigid in their thinking but now it's become a youthful hipster meme, nearly all the people I see shitting on modern tech and materials are young people who never had to actually live with the old shit they glorify and base their assessments on theoretical navel gazing and status seeking within their peer group , often fixating on a single criteria that may not even matter in 90+% of uses/circumstances.

You talking about the cancerous costruction material that got pushed due to being cheap industrial waste and convenience? I too prefer asbestos over wood.
In a lot of areas the push away from plastic is a godsend to the consumer.
It wasnt a real complaint, just the only one he could muster with a quick google search
There is no practical reason to jerk off over incandescents anymore
That's literally the only legitimate reason to use them anymore. I know someone who does cast sugar art and she has to seek out incandescent bulbs for the warming box she uses to keep the temperature up to make the material stay pliable when she shapes it, but not so hot it melts.
>solved better by an electric heater with a thermostat.
Incandescent with thermostat. I don't need a separate light for the pump house. And I can see if the light (heat) is on from a distance.

Just get 10 H1 bulbs and put in series, run it off 120v. Might be a bit too bright though, so you may want to look for the dimmest lowest power ones and/or use indicator bulbs or festoon bulbs instead.
will there be incandescents that won't be affected by the upcoming biden bulb ban? will there be loopholes that keep certain incandescents on the market?
I bought one that's a 40W made in Hungary (the true inventor of the lightbulb) It went in my collection.

>tfw stocked up in 2007 to 2012
>bulb scalpers
Is that really a thing? I have quite a few old soviet era bulbs.
Scalpers will scalp fricking ANYTHING.
Its not scalping selling old obsolete shit with higher prices in an ebay store.
The word scalping has gotten completely bastardized.
>2022
>unironically buying incandescents
the only good incandescent i have found is a "insect repellent" light bulb made by osr am
I gotta ask, why do you want incandescent specifically? You can. Get leds with the same color temp easily.

If you really want good CRI, touch grass
>I miss incandescent
Take the oil lamp pill if you have an attachment to obsolete lighting.
Wrong. incandescent lighting is the correct amount of obsolete.

Now that's an idea. Does it run sooty or anything? Sounds like a cool thing to do with leftover grease but I wouldn't want it to nasty up my ceilings.

>implying you cant get high CRI LEDs, or that half of the daylight incandescent are high CRI
lel
>Literally a black body radiator
The buzzing of LED lights in general really sets off my schizophrenia. So I avoid them as much as possible.

Not OP, but heat. They keep my water pump from freezing.
That's literally the only legitimate reason to use them anymore. I know someone who does cast sugar art and she has to seek out incandescent bulbs for the warming box she uses to keep the temperature up to make the material stay pliable when she shapes it, but not so hot it melts.
All those problems would be solved better by an electric heater with a thermostat.

Tell me you know nothing about working with cast sugar without saying "I know nothing about working with cast sugar".
>I gotta ask, why do you want incandescent specifically?
Bulb for inside oven. LED bulb will last 3.5 seconds at 450 F.

run 11 in series and increase the lifetime by factor 5

The best one i found was this, some “candle” style bulbs
They are decent and comfy
