Cullen Wassell 5 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Posting this mainly in the hopes that someone who has connections with a manufacturer(s) will read. COB filament bulbs have been around for awhile, and they can be had in color temperatures that are just about dead-on with the illuminated color of tungsten filaments. It's even been scaled down for small bulbs, such as those little halogen bulbs with the wire leads - so why hasn't it come to Christmas lighting? The small bulbs aren't terribly expensive - around a buck each, maybe a little more, is what I'm seeing - not that far out of line with current LED retro prices. Seems like this technology would make the best looking retros, I really can't belive it hasn't caught on in this area yet. Maybe people don't want glass bulbs? Small price to pay, if you ask me.

Cullen Wassell 5 Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 My thoughts exactly. If they can cram it into the G4 package, C7/C9 would be easy peasy. Definitely a thing that needs to happen. Link to post Share on other sites
