Can someone tell me what light bulb is the best light bulb to buy?

I bought a light bulb from a mall kiosk and it is burned out already. I want to know where I can buy it from cheap and I want it delivered tomorrow.

Please don't thread-jack... all newbees and can post threads in the night light forum or under its sub-forum DIM-wits

or PM T0mUsEDysun13 and he would be more than willing to help...

Here is a link to more information about this. This fellow Edison did a great mod.
He somehow took a candle and got it inside glass and then there is no wax and it is amazing. I've got one that has been burning continuously for a year and 3 months. Tastes good, too.
I think there is a sale on these at several suppliers because there is a rumor that in 2012 they will no longer be legal in the U.S.

Hey someone tried to tell me that if your Light Bulb doesn't have a "protected" element it could blow up in your face. That isn't true is it?
I don't believe it. I think I'll try it for myself.
