    These go for $800+ each btw. I have a broken one of these and it’s still worth a couple hundred lol.

    Edit: Specifically the Aerolux 1960s orange bulbs are $800+. They’re collectors items.

      Why aren’t they produced anymore? I imagine it would be possible to have something similar manufactured for way less.

      Or is it something about poisonous substances inside or something?

        The make led ones now that are around 10 USD. They don’t nearly as cool when off. This thread has sent me down a weird lightbulb rabbit hole
