Mine included. They were being given away in shopping centres so of course I took them.

Reason being the only place I use them now is for my hand held lead lamp for working on the car. (One drop and an incandescent lamp is ruined if it's switched on).
On the other hand, the rest of the drawer/cupboard space is crammed with as many incandescent bulbs as I could squeeze in.
