I know that these only cost $5 AUD each, but there's a principle at
stake here...

I've bought them at the (US) dollar store (rather a cold phosphor). At a
buck each I don't fix them.

I've really grown to like those cold phosphors, especially the daylight ones
but most everything around here is yellow 2700K.

Yeah they're not really economical to fix from that standpoint but it is
kinda fun, I always at least take a crack at it when one dies.

Hi...

Durn, I've been using them for about 10 years now - don't
have a single incandescent left in the place - but never yet
had one fail. Mostly Sylania; but a few Globe badged.
Did throw one away because the light output had dropped too
much.

Waiting to fix one Downside is that looking at them, I
can't imagine how I'd getting one apart without destroying
it. Is there a trick I can't see?
