Fewer "specific applications" means larger quantities of the same parts... which equals a cheaper bulb.

I'd thought for years that I might be dyslexic; however, after college (struggled, but learned to learn WITHOUT reading as it typically makes me nauseous to read shiny pages like those found in textbooks) I was exposed to something called "Irlene Syndrome"
