Years ago there were:
Pear or soft white in screw or bayonet in various wattages. If you were really lucky you could buy coloured ones. But it was EASY!

But now😭😭LED, Halogen, thousands of different others, Lots of different random wattages and fastenings and styles. My stomach fills with dread whenever l have to buy them.

Dimmible bulbs🤮

Bought a lamp from Next last year. Got it home, and it had a dimmible bulb. Never used it. Bulb ran out, but could not buy a new one anywhere. They didn’t exist. Complained to Next.

Gave up. Dh who was an electrical engineer changed the switch to a normal bulb. It’s all just a huge con!

@Frappuccinofan she was fine with the lights itself, it was the coloured disco type lights she pulled a face at. Thankfully my DS got bored of them quite quickly I hid the remote controls
