Hi.

I agree, something so simple as the tungsten filament lamp was really good and served us well for many decades to be replaced by horrible CFLs. Thank goodness the LED technology has advanced to the extent that they're now almost as good as incandescent lamps. I still use some filament lamps but they're now gradually being replaced with LED types. Must keep back a few filament lamps for my lamp limiter.

Regards
Symon.
