1 to post that they have found a great bulb supplier (ignoring the fact that 123 people said they are in fact luminaires)
8 to post that the supplier wont answer their phone calls and emails.
6 to post that they have been in touch and placed an order but the bulb hasnt arrived to a remote African village within 6.345 hours.
