I gotta' ask: C'mon, has anyone really had that much trouble with the fragility of incandescent bulbs? To put it another way: is this a real problem or a made-up problem to justify going out and buying some new stuff to try (not that there's anything wrong with that )?

The problem is dropping them while they are ON... The filament is MUCH more delicate when it is glowing white hot.
