So can anyone clarify whether the Elko 455s are still being made?
I thought it was known that the original GE bulbs have long been out of stock but if the Elkos are too that’s a different story.

Quoted from curtisdehaven:That actually looks pretty good IMHO. As well as the Fun House one also shown.
Do you find with the LED technology to last longer, if not infinitely? I find that the Eiko 455s I've been running the last several years burn out fairly quickly. I can't imagine that being the case back in the day - geez, the tech would have been at our bowling alley a couple of times a week just replacing blinking bulbs... lol
In my experience, the Eikos have always been inferior especially in the blinking variety but it’s all we had. In addition to burning out prematurely, they do not cycle as often.
