An small ball incandescent bulb with two filaments instead of one. One filament is connected correctly while second only on one end.

A compact fluorescent lamp Philips PL-C 26W with wrong socket. The had the notches on the wrong position intended for 13W.

Faults in manufacture does happen I recently put a lamp up which was not completely coated and the etch was all blurry...still it was sold as a second cheaply as it did work okay.

I have a few soviet and tungsram tubes that has only vacuum, no gas or mercury filling.. The filaments glow as regular incandescent, but no striking.. Absolutely non whatsoever, not even a flicker on advance IS ballast all four outputs put together.. I wish though if i could find a clear fluorescent tube   as defective  :D

New lighting technologies is a pity fest everywhere you look. From LEDs that last only for two months, to a never-ending global starvation of t8 fluorescent tubes.
We shall reinforce ourselves with good old full mercury t12s and HIDs made to surpass one's life, and give them all the middle finger ;
