We use bulb lube on every bulb we install. It works great. The only place I have seen it is at the check out lines at Menards. It is a little orange container that simialar in size to Carmex lip balm. It costs about 3 or 4 dollars, but it is well worth it.

Bring back brass-base bulbs! (Say that five times real fast!!!)
Hmmm... "Bulb Lube" sounds interesting- I don't know how many times in my old vehicles that I've had to use pliers to get out the broken 1157's due to seizure in the socket.
As for the KOPR-SHIELD(R), there are certain applications where it is truly indispensible, though I would steer clear of using it as an anti-seize for bulbs. I see that they also sell it in one-gallon cans- WOW! That's more than one or two terminal and conduit-thread coatings...!
No wire bias here- I'm standing on neutral ground.
