I'm not saying I don't miss the ambiance. I'm saying replacing the incandescent bulbs is an expensive pain in the ass. I've spent weeks in booms in winter wind, or summer wasps, trying to get corroded bulbs out of sockets and having to wait for more bulbs to come in. It's a bitch.

You can use the european bulbs in north american sockets. The bulb but will never blow out because they're built for the higher voltage in europe. You need the buy twice the wattage to get the equivalent light.

Yeah, there's a bulb in New York I believe that's been burning since the 1800s. Edison literally engineered them to not last for profit.
