Look Ma No Wires

I was trying to emulate Nico's entry for 2010 but mine doesn't quite measure up. I tried to get it to stand on it's own like Nico's but couldn't make that happen.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

This is so much better than Nico's...his is not even in the same league as yours. Nico was the best, but in this, you are. Traveller

On topic comment Dave, I did catch on. What I really liked was how Nico got his bulb vertical and I tried various tricks to do the same, tape, fishing line, super glue, hand holding and duct seal compound. What sold me on it laying flat was when it fell over while energized I noticed the orange glow off the reflective surface and the glass shell, I smiled and said “eureka there’s my shot”. Shoot one shot background only and one with the bulb then mask out the wires I had soldered to the screw shell and contact base. If I had thought of that first I’d saved a few hours of learning, playing, experimenting. Paul

Reclining Edison Bulb. Cant see Watt I'd improve. I love it.

Now this is really good. I like it a lot. No apologies necessary.
The heated elements look really good against the blue.
