quote [ You can’t buy them unless you live in Dubai. Apparently inspired by the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who wanted more efficient and longer-lasting bulbs. ]
Yes, longer lasting, far more efficient LED lightbulbs exist, but you're not allowed to have them, at least not yet.
This is a sort-of follow up to this entry: The Great Lightbulb Conspiracy
Use twice as many LEDs, running at 1/4 the power, and you get a lightbulb that puts out the same amount of light for half the power, and has a waaaaaaaay longer lifespan. They've been sold since 2017, but only in Dubai. The monopoly runs out, in theory, at the end of 2021. Dubai Lamp: The Most Energy Efficient Light Bulb in the World

I'm actually wanting light bulbs which emit heat--the old kind--because I have a small lamp on a bedside-sized table where my cat sleeps because of the heat.
I should stock up on those--gotta find me some... |

You could put a heating pad on the table.

Pet shops also having heating pads for lizards and turtles and stuff. Something with a gentle heat to not start a house fire or harm the cat, which seems ideal here.
