In California it takes 0, since bulbs have been banned there.

galaxy wjstix: Well first you have to pre-order the lightbulb, since they're on a "pre-order only" limited edition basis now. I guess the real question, how many people have to pre-order the lightbulb before the manufacturer decides to actually make one?? Geared Steam: I ordered the dang light "bub", they charged my credit card, and they didn't have it in stock, when it finally comes in the mail 3 months later, they over charged me $30 for shipping, and the filament is not prototypical! Its EBAYS fault! I also want to know: is the dang pre-ordered, pre-charged limited edition light bulb DCC compatible?

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

How many subscribers to this message board does it take to change a light bulb? Enough of us to know we need to hire a fresh out of college young engineer to figure out how we should change the light bulb. Then Hire a handy man to do it for us, as we each stand around and watch and tell him our ideas of how it should be done.
Ford's got a better idea.........................
Even though it is an old thread it is good for a chuckle.

You brought back a nearly three year old thread to make that lame comment? You need a hobby, "bub".
But wait! He brought back a thread after three years, true, BUT the thread was already TWO years old before that!
Maybe his hobby is bringing back old threads! Ever think of that? No? Well, now you know.
People! Let's try to keep our facts straight. We don't want any complaints about misrepresented or misinterpreted facts now, do we?
(See what happens when you leave a light bulb burning for 5 years and I can't get any sleep? I get GROUCHY!!!!
Now turn off that light and let me get some SLEEP!!!!!)
Darrell, trying to be quiet...for now
And once we finish changing out that light bulb, will we leave it on analog power or give it digital control? And what about sound? Of course, once all that is put in, it will also need to be weathered for realism.

You call me out for bringing back a nearly three year old thread? Who needs a hobby, bub? Sometimes, we have other things going on in our lives and we miss a thread or two. Sorry if I took up YOUR valuable time.

I just gotta do it. I can't help myself..
"The incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe makes light by heating a metal filament wire to a high temperature until it glows. The hot filament is protected from air by a glass bulb that is filled with inert gas or evacuated. In a halogen lamp, a chemical process that returns metal to the filament prevents its evaporation. The light bulb is supplied with electrical current by feed-through terminals or wires embedded in the glass. Most lamps are used in a socket."

As I recall, it depends upon the nationality of those involved in the light bulb changing task.

I was changing the light bulb on my locomotive last night and, when I encountered some difficulties, I turned to my stack of MR magazines. Would you know it. Not one article on N-scale light bulbs. Just HO light bulbs. Doesn't MR realize that an increasing number of people are using N-scale light bulbs. This lack of information can greatly increase the number of people required in the process of changing light bulbs in scales other than HO.
That's it, I'm cancelling my subscription.

I fail to see the humor in this thread.
Maybe if I turned on this light bulb.
Ooops it burned out....
HALP!!!

Haven't you heard about the light bulb that changed for somebody else, only to be asked "Why aren't you the same bulb I fell in love with?"
Oh yes they do, All the light bulbs need to be changed. They need to be changed to CFLs.

THE LIGHT BULB DIDN'T NEED TO BE CHANGED!!! (it was loved as it was)
However, it did need a proper sized limiting resistor, which is the real topic that should be discussed.....if we have enough people.

All of this talk of changing the light bulb, but would it be a change for the better?
If you open the door to a darkened room, you'll let the dark out.
Remember...Light bulb changing is Fun.
