At my woolies. Only screw connectors on sale. There are a few other options heavily discounted too. Seems woolworths has repeated this deal a few times.

Any other woollies have the deal?
Save your $1. These have a long delay before the light comes on. Also some (not me) claim that it emits some buzzing sound.
I just tested one of mine. About 1/2 second delay over my previous globe. I couldn't notice any buzzing. Doesn't worry me - I'll accept 1/2 second delay for super cheap globes.
These have been clearance for a few months now, so it wont be replenished.
These only showed on sale at my woolies this week. There was heaps of stock and a box next to the shelf that contained more - so it clearly had been restocked recently.
Why are the screw connectors the only one on sale (also known as edison screw)? Because the bayonet ones have been ozbargained in most places
AFAIK, Woolies changed it to something very similar. It could be lumen difference or the description on the box i.e. 'Cool White' on clearance however the new full price bulb is called 'Cool Day Light'.
I just changed my click n collect on woolworths.com.au to VIC and it shows:
the one you posted and,
the closest replacement
The differences are that the replacement bulb is spiral and it is the bayonet screw.Note: Both are 14w ~60watts, however the replacement bulb (at the normal price) have a higher lumen.
You can buy cheap Edison to Bayonet adaptors off ebay. I considered it at one stage, however I dont want my house to burn down.
How come I seem to know what I'm talking about?
I shop at woolies weekly and have never seen them replace the $1/$2 clearance bulbs. Go have a look tomorrow, and you will find that the recently restocked bulbs are the newer normal priced ones.
Happy to be proved wrong :)
@ swimfast: your first line "At my woolies" makes me remember a joke:
A rings B.
B: Alô.
A: Who is it?
B: It's me.
A: Me who?
B: Me me.There you are. Now please let us know which one is your woolies. Thanks.
I got 20w 2 pack Bayonet connector for free last week. It was on sale but it scanned at the full $10 price so I got it for free Because of the woolworths scanning code promise.
Can confirm that there is a 1 second delay.
Looks like this one has unexpired:

Wonder if the others are also cheap still.
