Yay light bulbs!!! Woop woop!!

I thought our enquiry office was looking rather sparse without the overflowing shelves and queues of p*ssed off customers who've trundled all the way down to pick up something they didn't order...

Expect a lot more - the industry will be trying to clear them all before the next generation LED variety starts to ship.
