Here in Poland 15W bulbs are quite common and could be bought in almost
any shop (supermarkets etc.), but it is also possible to get 5
and 7 watt ones. The prices are like 0.5 euros for the 15W ones and
approximately 2 euros for smaller ones (they aren't so popular).  Some
of the popular makers is Tungsram (owned by GE) and PIL1 (polish).
