LOL where can I buy this? ^^
wanna know too… where to buy these??
’bout 30 dollar / 20 euro:

too sad I cannot find the “order” button coz its all in chinese :[
any european/international resalers?
Japanese…..
google chrome that s**t up man
I love it, I want those, I hope they’re available in 220V!
found it after a bit of googling, 39$ on a canadian site… That’s not cheap for a bulb, plus it still doesn’t mention the working voltage :/
heres a list of all foreign shops who (probably) resell em
http://www.100per.com/en/company/shop_list.html
can you post a link? I really want one of these!
Found a reseller in Japan. http://100perstore.com/?pid=11524981
It’s available here: http://100perstore.com/?pid=11524981
Please give us the link to this site. The ones on the Japanese site are $28 and I can’t imagine what the shipping would cost. I had really hoped that these would be around $10 though. I’m not sure I’m willing to spend $39, but I want to take a look.
I want it !

I’m watching you…! Aaaaalways watching you!!

100-230V, 2415 yen (~$29)
This will give a whole new twist to ‘light-bulb’ jokes.
It is a good thing congress isn’t trying to make incandescent bulbs illegal… oh wait.
Which makes no sense. In the long term incandescent bulbs are greener then the low energy ones, which contain chemicals that cause things like mercury poisoning.
More mercury is put out into the atmosphere by burning the coal that powers an incandescent bulb over its lifetime than exists in a CFL.
http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=cfls.pr_cfls_mercury
there are phosphors in CFL bulbs which can be harmful in large doses personally i’d rather have tungsten and glass that phosphors, + other chemicals and glass plus small amounts of mercury, the real fail is using coal to generate electricity, there is more than one way to generate electricity numnuts
Not true – we use natural gas here. That’s the real solution… zero mercury on both ends.
Burning natural gas still generates greenhouse gases and while the most efficient form (depending on the plant/design) of generation of power based off fossil fuels, it still has many shortcomings.
What makes you think we’re coal? I’m nuclear.
They’re not becoming illegal to use. Stores just won’t be allowed to sell them in the U.S. anymore. If it’s a foreign bulb, then it’s legal. But it still does suck.
As an interesting “kludge,” there’s at least one business selling them as “heating elements” or some such, thus getting around the rules. They are pretty efficient at that.
I am now curious how well the heat output to power input stacks up to a proper heating element but yeah the heat output is a big part of the power consumption of the bulbs.
I suddenly feel pity for the possibility of a generation never knowing the joy of those “easybake / mold and bake bug” ovens that used a bulb for the heating element.
Michaelos:
Well, since the only power output(s) of the bulb is heat and light it stacks up very well to a proper heater (per input watt, obviously).
Especially if you enjoy the side-effect of light.
Incandescents are roughly 4 percent efficient, everything else is heat, and heater elements are generally almost all heat (they glow redhot instead of whitehot, so there is *some* light output).
Incandescent bulbs are essentially very slightly inefficient high temperature heaters.
BTW, some high end stoves use halogen heating elements not unrelated to halogen lightbulbs for very quick heating elements. Faster than induction and much cheaper, and works with all pans.
Oh no what am I going to use in my easy bake oven when the bulb blows out.
here it is a place that has it but for $39 free shipping i might go make this myself

How are you going to make this yourself? you can’t just glue a base on a regular bulb – the proportions wouldn’t be correct.
take a small globe or any small filament bulb and break of the glass and glue it on a regular bulb ill try it tomorrow let y’all know how it went
So I made it but the only problem is that the pc fahrenheit epoxy begins to smell after a hour of being on so ill have to find a alternative way to hold the small bulb inside the large one
..just don’t touch the metal part!
Love it! Want!
a little confusing when trying to install, What Side Do I Use?!?!?!?
Am I the only one wondering whether both ends are connected, and whether there is a major risk of destroying your new toy when you reach out to touch the pretty light and electrocude yourself, exploding all the lights in the house?
It’s quite clear that the exposed screw fitting is simply glued onto the bulb surface.
quite clear? really? The one that looks like it is merely glued on is the one being used to power it on photo 2.
If the exposed part was live, wouldn’t that break the circuit and there’d be no light?
Wrong? the part you’re tallking about is actually the one that connects, see the pictures!
probably wouldn’t fit in recessed fittings or desk-lamps (if it even came in bayonet fitting), im guessing the bulb is made with either two seperate filaments or the “normal” one is a dud and just decorative
Hey, if there only were power-saving version of these would be even cooler!!! anyone found???
It’s Uncle Fester’s love bulb!!! Like a milkshake only brighter.
