    LED' Light bulbs are heavier, why I do not know.  I am thinking the Engineers forgot their Hogwarts training and did not use the Levitosa spell properly.

    LOL! I love inadvertent malapropisms created by typing errors, as in Nice Jug's question!

    There are many differences between the intended luminaires and luminaries, and the latter would probably object to being wrapped in a box labelled "Light Bulbs", but they certainly would be heavier than the former! :-) 


    [To answer Archerchef, the LED bulbs are heavier than equivalent simple filament lamps because their bases contain the necessary low-voltage power-supply. ]
