This vendor tackles the problem of creating an LED bulb which looks like an incandescent. It's such good mimicry that you need to smash the bulb to peek inside to confirm that's it's indeed an LED bulb.
It's a fairly interesting fusing of very old school ceramics and blown glass and newer LED technology. I am amazed that they were even able to get LED emitters and a power supply mounted and functional with a blown glass envelope and ceramic tower.
Not sure how long the bulb would last as thermal management looks difficult but it's another very interesting take on how to build a bulb. The LED market continues to produce bulbs with a wild variety of approaches.
