[SML] Plastic for practicals

[Jon Ares]

I was assuming the cheapies I buy for decorative use (which often
means onstage practicals) were (in part) cheap because of the plastic
globes. I have not done any studies to determine this, but was
thinking that might help.

I'm sure they were from Amazon, but one case of "Edison-esque" bulbs I
got even takes the vintage thing further, and when powering them on,
they hesitate a moment, then "fade" up.  I used one in a show, and had
to anticipate the "fade up" and "fade down" in cues.  Looked good.

Pretty sure it was these:
