 Just had a look on Temu, because savvy Chinese MUST still be selling incandescent globes on the grey market, right? Not really... (!)

All the "Edison" globes are LED not incandescent tungsten filament.

There's some E14 "household oven" bulbs with what looks like real tungsten filament (makes sense, led can't take the heat).

And reptile heat lamps, with visible-light blocking glass.

And that's it... Can't have consumers making their own choices... 
 it seems that true incandescent light bulbs are becoming increasingly rare and difficult to find due to the widespread switch to led bulbs for their energy efficiency and cost savings
