This does remind me though, I should stock up on

times.
I had never heard of "Rough Service" bulbs until the 1970s. When I had a
large automotive repair business in the 1970s, I bought them by the case.
I also saved replaced automobile headlights to use the remaining filament
for power supply testing.
I still won't use anything but "rough service" in drop lights, portable
lights, desk lamps, goose-neck lamps, swing-arm lamps, etc.
I have a swing-arm lamp for my bed. Its power is controlled by a small
box that also flashes it when the phone rings. What else should I use?
About 15 years ago, Harbor Freight stopped carrying rough-service bulbs.
But I got a helluva deal at their parking lot sale! It will take me a
while to use up a dozen cases of them.
"No more than two to a package"???
Don't they realize that tinfoil hats act as antennas?
