I think my time in this world is past. The world is changing too fast for me.
I needed a 3-way light bulb, saw these on the shelf and grabbed one. It's a newfangled LED - new technology, but LEDs work fine in most applications, whatever.
I should have looked more carefully.
It's not a "3-Way" bulb the way they have been for 100 years. It's "3 LEVEL" bulb that you choose the light output level by turning a switch in the base with a screwdriver. It's the only lightbulb I've ever owned that required an accompanying screwdriver. I guess it could be useful in some circumstances, but none I can think of off the top of my head. Sometimes I think manufacturers come up with new crap just because they can.
I'm on the lookout for 60 watt incandescent bulbs for my garage door opener. Every LED I've tried caused my radio to buzz.
