That price of $2+ per bulb is high, but the bulbs used to retail for
prices like that. They were scarce, being replaced by LEDs or whatever,
and they just weren't making them anymore.
The Mouser prices and inventory seem to indicate that this has changed,
unless Mouser just has them on clearance or something. (Maybe 28V
happens to still have demand?)

The CM2185 has a longer life (but half as bright) and is $0.35 qty 1. Qty 10 is
more likely, so $0.32 vs .40 for the CM2187. Either way it is pretty
reasonable.

Agreed. Shipping is probably $6 to $12 in the USA, and I don't see any
a minimum order.
