It's an age thing Dave, It doesn't just happen to bulbs I'm afraid.


I got these free but when I try to plug them into my Bulb Socket, they act like an air freshener, The first thing visitors say is, "Ah the decaying smell of onions, I'm glad to see you didn't bother". the sizzling sound they make just seems to cancel out my tinnitus, so there is a positive side I suppose.
