limited use? I wish I could get them more easily. Theyre just as good
for light fittings where the bare bulb isnt visible, and look much
better in some types of light.

That's certainly true. I'm often unable to find what I want in
B&Q/Sainsbury's, but can nearly always get slightly unusual bulbs in a
shop near where I work. The big Asda/walmart in Bristol is sometimes
good as well, but I don't go there very often, so everything has moved
by the next time I'm in there.
