Default 100mm 100w Decor bulb.

I know the BC idea is supposedly safer as there is no connection to the
metal base of the bulb as there is with ES, but the ESĀ* ones also do not
spontaneously drop on your head due to failure of one of the bayonet
slots after 10 years being cooked by the bulb either.


But with constant heat cycling ES bulbs can get firmly stuck in the
connector - having lacerated hands because the glass breaks when trying
to remove the bulb makes the failed bayonet seem safer
