    What’s the modern day equivalent of this now that glass incandescent bulbs are off the market?

      Could probably use water balloons to a similar effect if you can figure out how to fill them with the sandy paint

        Yeah, there’s plans to phase them out, but it doesn’t look like they’re already gone anywhere. In fact, seems like there was a January executive order repealing the DOE plan to phase them off the market.

          anywhere

          Fun fact: there are places that are not the United States.

            The first part and second part of my comment were separate.
            Fun Fact: I’m not from the States, and I don’t live in the States.

            By anywhere I meant globally. I found nothing online saying that any country, globally, had 100% phased out incandescent bulbs.

            In the second half of the comment, I referred to the US DOE, and an executive order as we had been talking about things happening in the US.
