So guys. I just got my new 810 bulb. It's so great than having a 15. Like a nice solid wall of light with a lot of punch. The waves form quicker too! So you can pick up the light at a closer distance!

I wanted a cool vintage light, so I bought a "Sunn" off eBay.
Works fine during the daytime, but last night at practice...nothing!

I heard GE is coming out with American Vintage Reissues in frosted and clear. Can anybody confirm that? They may even make a limited edtion 40th Anniversary 3-Way!
I saw an ad in CL for a vintage bulb, says it has that retro tone everyone is looking for, hasn't been gigged lately and it's all original. Wants $1500 for it, shipped and insured.
What do you guys think?

I think you can get a Chinese bulb that will be just as dim for one tenth the price. Those vintage and boutique bulbs are never worth the money, man. A cheap bulb is all you need.

That filament is at the wrong angle and you can see the top of the threads sticking out of the socket. Looks like a fake to me.
Do I have to go through paypal and be a supporting member if I want to sell my bulbs?
What about fixtures for the bulbs?
I won't accept any trades besides an early edition spotlight or floodlight.
No Flashes!
I was also having a difficult time communicating with the other bulb users in my group one bulb is just too brighter while the other just keeps dimming until the rest of us prop him back up

I wish that I could afford a pre-CBS bulb.
I've heard a lot of good things about the bulbs made since 2008 though.

I was thinking of getting an Excess (XS) from orndo.com, but I'm not sure those Chinese bulbs are worth it. The one I was looking at was $1.29, but by the time I added in a shade and shipping it would be almost $3.00. 
I know they are good bulbs if you want to mod them, change bases, replace the filiment, etc, but still.....

I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process...
Can you identify this bulb for me please? I got it from a friend who said it's a 70's UniLux made in Canada, but I took it to a tech and he said it is a POC Japanese copy of a Beatle Bulb and said he could pay me $ 50 for it, to work on it.
