Looking for lightbulbs

Featured Replies

Okay, just add me to the weird list. Perhaps it was growing up in the 1950s.

 

I like incandescent light. It bathes everything in a warm & cozy glow.

 

We’re all cautioned to limit our blue light exposure to screens but what about fluorescents, LEDs & halogens?

 

I’m all for saving the planet. But we’re not going to do it with lightbulbs.

 

Bottom line: Where can I buy 40-watt, 60-watt, & 100-watt frosted lightbulbs in Bangkok?

 

I don’t wanna switch!

Just buy the "yellow" version and doubt you would notice the difference.

 

Any DIY like Homepro etc has both "White" and "Yellow" versions.

Swapped all my LED downlighters for WiFi controlled RGB bulbs, about Bht 170 each on Lazada. 10 watts max, any colour you want, scheduled on/off, via your phone

I still have incandescents in the chook brooder.

 

Last time I bought some was in one of the little outlets next to Sukhumvit MRT station, opposite side of the road from Soi Cowboy. No idea if it's still there.

Those warm white LEDs are just not the same. Nor are the clear, not frosted variety on Lazada.

 

For more on this, look up John Nash Ott. He did time-lapse cinematography for Disney, flowers blooming and so on. He discovered only incandescents would allow for the natural cycles & went on to do studies on animals & light source.

 

Yes, I'm a dinosaur. Maybe real lightbulbs are extinct, too. Whoever would want to adjust their lights with their phone?!? Sheesh!

LEDs work just fine for growing cannabis.

So a friend tells me ...................

You need a degree these days just to buy a light bulb. For f^*k sake there are so many choices.

Incandescent bulbs are hard to come by these days, I went looking for one at several big box hardware stores in our area to help keep our cat warm on cold nights (he get sick easy).  

Thanks for the Lazada link @johng, I tried Lazada before and came up empty.
