Are you sure they were incandescent bulbs and not just LED bulbs copying the incandescent style? They make a lot of decorative LED bulbs now with straight sections of LEDs to imitate the glowing wire of an incandescent.

Are you talking about an Edison bulb?

This is one example of the LED bulbs I was describing, but there's plenty of different styles of these being made

Definitely. I'm an electrician, so my eyes are usually drawn to these type of things. Light fittings, outlets, switches, etc.
