Yeah, that light bulb is very cool! I'll have to look for those at Hobby Lobby but I can never find anything in that place though.
Agreed, at my local Hobby Lobby it's very hard to get any help as to where things are at.
I stopped by at lunch and bought two of them - 50 cents each. Of course I had to ask someone where they were or I'd be there all day.
Afterwards I bought two lightweight plastic bulb holders at Home Depot for $1.37 each.
Sbell111's idea of the cryotube is very good. Now if I could only get my hands on some of them!
Lead containers for mechanical pencils would work well. They make good micro caches, as well.
