How Many Expats Does It Take to Change a Lightbulb?

More than two! I’m going on three years in this country, and I still don’t know how to buy a lightbulb. There are so many classifications! The one I bought most recently is labeled:
9 Watt
Economy
WW827
230-240V ~ 50-60Hz
E27 ES 6000h
425 lumen 60mA.

I was replacing an Economy 9 Watt bulb. And I even took the old one in to compare the bulbs. So WHY DOESN’T IT WORK???

Oy. Assuming you in fact screwed in the new bulb and turned on the light, I wonder if it's a sly Dutch effort to foster candle use.
