For fixtures I the wild I use a Nikon D90 with a 70-300mm telephoto lense. For lamps I use my Canon EOS R50 with a 18-45mm lense. For pictures of my own fixtures I use the camera on my Google Pixel 7a, I also use my Pixel 7a for taking pictures of fixtures in the wild when I don't have access to my D90.

I just checked Tru-Tone's website and the mini-lights and C9 twinkle lamps are now available.  I was considering buying some twinkle bulbs, but it appears they're only available in cases of 25.  I was hoping to purchase a 5-pack.

Feit Electric acquired Cree's lamps division, so I'm sure they're identical to whatever was being sold previously under the Feit brand.  I'm surprised they decided to bring non-LED products under the Cree name.  Looking at the Lowes website they are marketing Cree HID lamps too.

@Cole D. - Can you take pictures of the Cree circline fluorescents? I'd love to see those.

@LightsoftheWest - A Chinese company likely made them for Cree. Cree has always been an LED-only company as far as I know.

Wait a second... Cree for fluorescent? Does Cree actually make fluorescent lamps?

Thanks for those sites @joseph_125 ! I placed an order at Surplus sales for 50 starter sockets to get the bulk discount.

However, their shipping pricing structure and payment verification is unclear. When I placed the order, I selected standard ground shipping(which starts at US$7) and chose to pay with PayPal(which uses a different email address than the account I set up on the site, and didn't take me to PayPal's website like other sites do). On the purchases page, it simply says "Ready to process", so I suppose they're still calculating the grand total price.

Nikon Coolpix P510, with 16 Megapixels. Pretty much a Auto Camera, but I also have a Finepix Fujifilm S6500FD which isn't used anymore.

I saw this week that now they’ve changed back to Sylvania for HID and to Cree for circline fluorescent. So that’s why the GE are on clearance.

@Baked bagel 11. Hi Tom! Yes. I forgot about the Italio! They are common in Norway for i saw loads when I went, and also popular in Italy I believe. I will try and get a pic of a Italio when I go to Italy after Christmas.
@LightsoftheWest the Piano is actually quite beautiful, I wouldn’t give it Stunning but I would just say it’s just Beautiful.
