Bought 2 new bulbs today, in a small hardware shop, for a chandelier I have,.

They were small bayonet candle bulbs, and were guaranteed 'Triple Life'.

However, also on the box was the warning ' Not suitable for general husehols illumination'

As I paid for them, I pointed out the warning - 'To deter people from buying them, i suppose'
The salesman agreed.
I can just imagine some grease encrusted mechanic, in the garage, insisting on a candle bulb in his extension light :-D
