Quite a few, but only enough to fill a cardboard box. Still the start of a huge collection!

Haven't counted but I probably have 80 or more. I have several boxes of 100W pearl GLS plus a variety of other shapes and wattages including golfballs, candles, spots and appliance lamps, including a box of 125mm/4½" 100W globes which I use on dimmers (these are rated at 230V as they were imported from France, so are slightly overdriven on full mains, however they are usually dimmed). They're great for soft glare-free lighting, I had about the last of the stocks!

I accidentally bought a box of 60W 110V bulbs, good job I checked before screwing one in! They work on site transformers here.

Roughly 2,500 lamps.
A rough early 2009 count yielded over 1,600 lamps, and I have acquired well over half a thousand more since then.  ;D
They range anywhere from a 1.5V 37.5mW T1.75 lamp to some 1,000W GLS lamps, one of which is a rare (I think) 1920s Champion.

I only started collecting bulbs recently so all my light bulbs are current stock. I got about 20 light bulbs in my collection, almost all of them are Sylvania brand.

None in use, but many stored - mainly after the 09/09 :-D. I don't want pieces of flying glass in my home - my experience with incandescent EOL in larger houses with many homes. The mains feed impedance is usually very low, so short circuit currents very high there...

Hi Vince and all

I think around 50 actual incandescents. Most from second-hand stores, junkyards and of course, eBay!

I tend not to buy or keep dead bulbs.

I have 3136 Discharge, Both H.I.D. and Low Pressure, 7367 Incandescent Filament and 54 unclassified. These are only the ones in the database, in total there would be about 12500 I guess.

The answer to the question is not enough, as the EU have banned them as inefficient, and it's getting harder to find them for use in our fixtures.  :'(
