The Light Bulb - Blue is a coloured household bulb. It fits the same lamps, wall lights and vehicle lights as a plain bulb. It casts a tinted light instead of white.
It comes in several colours with the same stats: blue, cyan, green, magenta, orange, pink, purple, red and yellow. They all weigh the same as a plain Light Bulb.
Coloured bulbs are most common in radio factories and houseware stores. Department store storage and army storage keep them too. The Electrician is the best occupation for electronics. It starts with the most Electrical skill. The Engineer also starts with some Electrical skill.
Using
A coloured bulb goes into a lamp, a wall-mounted light or a vehicle headlight or taillight. A fitting with no bulb gives no light. Fitting a bulb to a vehicle needs a screwdriver in the main inventory.
The green bulb has a crafting use. Make Makeshift Walkie Talkie needs one Light Bulb - Green, with Electrical at level 2. Make Makeshift Ham Radio also needs one, with Electrical at level 3. Each of those recipes takes a plain Light Bulb as well.
That makes green bulbs worth keeping for anyone building radios. The other colours serve mainly to light a room in a chosen tint.
Variations
The Light Bulb - Blue comes in 9 versions with the same stats. Only the look and the name change.

Locations
Radio factories are the best place to look. Their storage, tool cabinets and shipping rooms hold one about one time in four. Houseware store shelves are just as good. Department store storage is a fair spot. Army storage, pawn shop offices, cybercafe desks, electronics stores and general stores give smaller chances. Garages, closets and attics turn one up only rarely.
