Exactly
And so if you make, or commission, a cool case with the 3 bulbs wired up and glowing then i think this would be a great piece of art, and relatively affordable for a kaws piece.

KAWS xx Light Bulbs, by St. Art Gallery on Jan 20, 2011 19:10:21 GMT 1, Really like the lightbulbs. It is a very clever idea and very well executed and appareantly I am not the only one with this opinion because they are already sold out.

KAWS xx Light Bulbs, by St. Art Gallery on Jan 20, 2011 20:22:54 GMT 1, Before I mentioned the light bulbs were sold out because I tried to buy and I got a message "sold out". Later I was able to order so I guess there was a problem with the website.
I think I will make a setup in plexiglass as suggested by an other member. Will post a pic as soon I have the setup completed.

KAWS xx Light Bulbs, by ikeamonkey on Jan 21, 2011 0:44:20 GMT 1, Maybe I'm a Kaws fanboy, but these are exposed filament light bulbs which is different than the ones sold at supermarkets and stores. The normal bulbs with the frosted glass is about 2-4 USD.
These exposed filament bulbs are harder to produced and is more difficult to craft. These usually sell at lighting stores for 20-30 USD. I'm ecstatic personally cause I was going to get a few exposed filament bulbs to do a lighting installation for my dining room. I'm sure many of you have seen these at high end restaurants/pubs...
These Kaws one's are a set of 3 for $65 USD. Putting it into the context of how much the designer bulbs are these are a steal and limited to 1000. Now I can pay the same and get the xx's

KAWS xx Light Bulbs, by don on Jan 21, 2011 2:17:18 GMT 1, Sept 2013 they become illegal in the u.k !!The Facts In March, the European Union passed a directive banning traditional-style filament light bulbs, the first stage of which came into effect on Tuesday, 1st September 2009. The Directive is quite complex and includes a number of exceptions but, in essence, this means that virtually all incandescent frosted bulbs will be banned from September and clear bulbs which are not category C energy efficiency rating or better will be phased out over the next four years. It will not be illegal to sell or use existing stocks of these items, but retailers will not be allowed to re-stock after the dates detailed below.
Frosted Bulbs Any bulb with a frosted, opal, pearl or other opaque finish - unless they are category A energy savers - have been banned since 1st September 2009.
Clear Bulbs Recognising that it is more difficult to replace clear bulbs with energy saving versions, the Directive provides for these not to be banned outright. Instead, a phasing out of the least efficient bulbs is scheduled as follows, although this effectively means that only the best types of halogen energy saver bulbs will be able to meet the new requirements:
ยยกAll clear bulbs must be category E or better from 1st September 2009 ยยก100W bulbs and above must be category C or better from 1st September 2009 ยยก75W bulbs and above must be category C or better from 1st September 2010 ยยก60W bulbs and above must be category C or better from 1st September 2011 ยยกAll clear bulbs must be category C or better from 1st September 2012

I hear yea but many big name contemporary artists have supported RxArt and this was a project for a very good cause.
100% of net profits will support RxArt, a nonprofit national organization committed to fostering artistic expression and awareness through the challenging yet rewarding task of engaging young patients through contemporary art in pediatric hospitals.
Koons did similar recently 100% of Kiehlโs net profits from the sale of each product will benefit The Koons Family Institute, an initiative of the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC).
I like the bulbs a lot. I like that he's not afraid to explore new territory.

Thanks for the briefing. This begs the question... what will this bulb fall under because it only uses 3 watts? Does that mean it will be one of the exceptions?

Maybe there are thousands at the hotels for use in the rooms. Maybe you could just bribe the cleaning crew and get them dirt cheap ;D

Just as I suspected the inventory magically went back up to 100.
I understand why retailers do that, but I still hate it. If you don't want people knowing how many are left then don't allow for "live" inventory.

No, they are playing with the inventory.
Adding 100 and then watching them dwindle down...then adding another 100.
