Part 7/8:
Following Bob Kyp’s passing in 2011, Kyp-Go Incorporated briefly revived the Balafire bulb with an A19 shape model. This reincarnation aimed to reach a new audience, yet the striking mirrored versions remain highly sought-after collector’s items, often valued at around $100 each today.
Interestingly, Kyp-Go's legacy extends into the Disney Parks, as they supplied antique carbon filament bulbs to enhance the themed lighting in various attractions. This connection to beloved cultural touchstones adds an enchanting layer to the history of the Balafire bulb, linking it to a fondly remembered era of whimsical entertainment.
