if you wire the incandescent bulbs in series by pairs, eg. two 100w in series will run at half load and will give the same amount of light as one 100W, then they will last indefinitely, you will never replace them, take my word, this trick was used to convince people about the long life of leds, but thats because they make incandescent bulbs shine so bright now that they last little by design.

There are these ready made light fixtures called golden balls, its a socket that you put two incandescent bulbs and it wires them in series into a single socket. You will never have to replace bulbs with this thing and gives a nice golden light.

After weeding out any LED Bulbs and trying the newer decorative incandescent ones, which were unpleasant, I ended up ordering halogen bulbs from Amazon.

They come with a 2700k warm white spectrum and you can get them with 40, 150 or 250w, the latter ones probably being special products for ambiental photography lighting.

Anyways. Since they emit a pleasant warm white colour and are 100% flicker-free, I can enjoy my evenings again, without starting to suffer from flickering/PWM related headaches.

beyondthelight Can you provide a link? I tried searching "golden ball light fixture" and couldn't find what you posted.

By the way, is that your idol on the wall?

Its an image and you will never find those fixtures online, because its a relic of old world technology only found in hard to reach places that hold on to the true light, but I opened one for you, its a pretty simple circuit, Im sure somebody can 3d print that, or not? idk. But seriously you will never have to replace the bulbs you put in that socket again.

beyondthelight Well, that's all very mysterious but not very helpful.

About the idol, please consult Scripture to find out God's opinion on those. Here's the second commandment (removed by the Catholic church):

You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I YHWH your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.

~ Exodus 20:3-6

Oh sorry, I sacrificed one for you and still was not helpful, sorry to waste your time, and thank you for your citation, but I didn't ask you for your opinion regarding that.

I went to a thrift store today and found some working halogen/incandescent bulbs, and two very nice high-wattage lamps. I paid less for it all than a single high-wattage lamp on Amazon!

Yes those are almost it, but the inside is wired differently, these are wired in series, not parallel
