just changed the rear side light and brake lamp bulb in halfrauds car park in the dark. £3.99 for 2 bulbs!
dear or what, I did go for the heavy duty bulbs hope it lasts a wee bit longer.

I have some lamps planted in my ground they charge via solar pannels and the bulbs glow at night.

He omitted the word 'light' in with bulb, but I understood what he meant...

And LED bulbs would grow an LED plant then........

Will do mate, The heavy duty ones do look good they have an extra support arm in the middle of the filament.

But like lez says LED's last a long time.

And from experience you can shake, rattle and roll the LED's an they never give up.

Filaments in traditional LIGHT bulbs just need a little shake and if they are hot they are history!

Always happens to me when I am in someones loft and the lamp hits a rafter.
Now I have a portable strip light.
