Why are those bulbs illegal? Do they give off gamma rays or something?  :P

What kind of bulbs are they? They are really pretty.


They are tungsten bulbs and have been banned in the EU to force people to buy energy efficient ones instead. Its also illegal to import them as well. [bud] if you look for vintage style tungsten bulbs you can find some rather amazing looking ones but you need to have them on a dimmer switch really to see the hectic filaments.

Hubby is out for some drinks to celebrate his team's softball win. He sends me a text message and what does it request? That I take a picture of his model tardis and send it to him.  :D This is why I love him.

Ali, you are the first person I have met on this forum who didn't know what the Tardis is.  :D
