How many of us does it take to change a light bulb?

I am totally offended by the non-inclusion of Philips bulbs!! It certainly shows the bias of everyone towards the "big 2"!!! I will never, ever post here again and I will e-mail Bergie to get this thread deleted ASAP!! But right now, I'm going to hold my breathe until everyone agrees with me!![:o)][:D][(-D][(-D][(-D][:P][:)][}:)][:D]

Now that was just as funny as the original post (and too true)! [8D]

When I wire one light bulb (the correct spelling, BTW) to a switch it works fine. When I wire two light bulbs in parallel to the same switch, neither seems to be as bright as before. Can anyone offer any help?

Confused. What's a light bulb?

[trollw]

When I connect a wire from my power pack to one bulb and then run a wire from that bulb to another bulb and then run a wire from the second bulb back to the other terminal on the power pack, everything works ok for awhile but then they will both go out. If I take out both bulbs and check them, I find that one of the bulbs is burned out but the other one is ok. How come they both go out? If I change to DCC, will it help?

Well a crocus bulb is a light bulb. A Bearded Iris bulb is a heavy bulb.

I hope this clears up the confusion.

It just keeps gettin' better...

And isn't that the theme song on Philips commercials?[:0][:p]

LOL

[dano99a]

you forgot the 37 people to respond to the lightbulb listing just to tell you how funny it was or what you forgot.

and the 6 people who respond in a some-what off topic way because they read one of many replys and wanted to respond to a certain reply and not the original topic.

It's all fun though... [:)]

[Fergmiester]

Two additional questions

Is the bulb a: Right hand Screw, Left hand Screw or bayonet?

And are the people who are replacing it right or left handed?

[fec153]

Please, enough. I'm laughing so hard the tears are fogging my glasses. Now I can't
read the screen.

Anyone know a good place to buy a light bulb?

[dragenrider]

I'm sorry, but I have to chime in! This is just too great! I've been reading bits to my coworkers and I'm howling with laughter!! Great stuff! [(-D][(-D][(-D]

Righty tighty, Lefty, loosey. I know because the Great State of Texas says I are a jorneymanelectrician. So there.
P.S.
This has been a fun one.

This may be rather Bulbous of me, but my question is... If you are traveling in your Loco (model or full scale) at the speed of light and turn on your head light--- can you see it??

yes you would be able to see it, the light from the head light will appear to travel at the speed of light even if your traveling at the speed of light which is impossible in its self anyway as the popular formula E=MC^2 states that if your loco had any mass to start with it would end up with infinite mass as the energy to move it would add to the mass thus more energy is needed ,ad infinitum

(sorry if i got a bit carried away there)

Are you sure ? Maybe a couple of decades of soul-searching is in order ? After all, Stephen Hawking just finished correcting himself for what he feels was his error many years ago...and if he can be wrong...well ?????

NEVER EVER AIM A SQUIRTGUN ANYWHERE NEAR A LIGHTED BULB (trust me)

You're splitting the current between the two lights, thus halving the wattage available.

[ericsp]

I prefer freelanced lightbulbs.

[Fergmiester]

So the question remains what came first ? The light bulb or .......

[Anonymous]

...the socket?

And don't forget the 17 people to post questions asking about long-lost Gorre & Daphited light bulbs, or how they were dissappointed to see MDC and Athearn light bulbs be bought out by Horizon light bulbs.

[jspinner]

Because this light bulb will be used on a UP layout[:(!][:(!], will the light bulb cost more.

[locomutt]

I would say "You Light Up MY Life",But.[:D]

I must say it was hard reading the whole Forum,without going
into a laughing fit.[:)]

[StillGrande]

This may be off topic, but is the light bulb in a lamp, a ceiling socket, wall socket, refridgerator, or what? We need more specifics before we can help you with your problem.

Hey Jim (plane_crazy),

That was toooooo funny! But you forgot the conspiracy theorists who think light bulbs don't emit light but rather suck darkness. After all, when you turn one off, darkness is left everywhere.........
