I have many extra incandescent lights because over the years I’ve been replacing them with diodes which I like better. They’re now getting cheaper. There was a sale at a hardware store. 4 60 ‘watt’ diodes for $10.

Oh, heck. I just bought 4x ‘65 watt’ “BR30” (flood) 22 yr (they say) LED bulbs at a Wally World (”Great Value”) for $.99. It’s some sort of “deal” involving the local electric utility, but it’s a straight up price, not a rebate. They’ve had 4 packs of std. ‘60 watt’ equivalent (9 watt actual) LED bulbs, rated for enclosed fixtures, no less, for $2.88 for some time now.

I also bought a 4 pack of Sylvania ‘60 watt’ equivalent (6.5 watt actual, IIRC) LED bulbs, NOT rated for enclosed fixtures, for $1.88, IIRC. (I’d have to recheck the receipt, but that’s close if not exact.)
