Coughtrie SW10 with insects / larvae included

Put anything here that's badly designed/made, failed, catastrophically exploded or just an epic fail in a general sort of way.

Problem is, filament lamps that would once have been common in these are largely no longer made, so I spose decorative LED filament is the closest you'll get if you don't want some plastic looking piece of crp in it.

That's certainly true, I guess a pearl coated LED filament GLS lamp would look ok, it's just those fake pip top lamps that don't really suit.
I'd probably use a decent CFL like an Osram Dulux EL Longflife if I had one in regular service tbh, not that it would be any more age appropriate than an LED!

That is vomit inducing level of gross on this Coughtrie lantern and I wouldn't want to open that lantern for sure ;sick if that went all over my hoodie, I'd bin it
