I was in Homebase again today buying light-bulbs. This time for the fridge. I have already been through another round of candle-bulb replacement since my recent blog post on the subject. In fact, one of those bulbs broke the record by lasting a staggering 10 minutes.
So, after a bit of aisle scanning, I found the bulb I was looking for; conveniently labelled 'Fridge Bulb'; 15W, small Edison screw-cap; single-bulb packet, £4.69.
And then I noticed a rack of similar looking bulbs on the peg above; only these were labelled 'Pygmy Bulbs'. On closer inspection, it transpired that these were not only similar to the 'Fridge Bulb'; they were unmistakably identical. Same bulb, same wattage, same packaging, only 'Pygmy Bulbs' come in a packet of two. Price? £4.69.
Genius.
