Is this maybe a case of the lights are on but nobody's home?

Lots of interesting thoughts in this thread.
How many does it take to screw in a light bulb? ................ oh, I don't know....... let's see........ was that clockwise......or counter clockwise ......... ... (might have been a digital clock, and we'll never know)..........
Hey, truth is funnier than fiction. Y'know those new low-energy bulbs that everyone from the new-low-energy-bulb manufacturers to Al Gore are trying to make us change over to? Well, they are made with mercury. So, in many places, you can't just bring them to the dump because they are full of hazardous, evil stuff. So you have to recycle them. Anyone know of any programs, anywhere in the country, to recycle mercury-filled light bulbs? I didn't think so.
Next thing you know, the government will be telling us we have to warehouse these things until recycling programs are in place. So, guard your train rooms carefully. Pretty soon the eco-cops will be eyeing them as "temporary" storage sites for bulbs.
Al Gore was born 9 months after Roswell, you know.

Nope... that's the little bulb that goes on whenever I get an idea. It's a whole 7 watts.

How many watts is this lightbulb? Is it going in the train room? How long is it expected to last? Is it flourescent? Which company is it made by? How can this lightbulb be improved? Does it shed enough light to light the whole room?
Seriously, very funny thread. Also very true.
Ahh...This thread brings up a lot of memories...
And I'm still trying to do the math to come up with an answer to the question...

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
What's with all the old threads coming back to life? Must be some really bored railroaders out there.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the forum...
Old threads never die!
But since this has been resurrected, it seems to me that the original poster was woefully non-specific. Is the bulb in question bayonet or screw base? Fluorescent or incandescent? Floor lamp or recessed ceiling fixture? For that matter, is it household or automotive?

How many of us are there? It probably won't be enough to do the job properly.
So, I can assume from your post that candles are really, really out. Time to dump some stock. First I get burned with the buggy whip company, now this.

UFO Light Bulb Table/ Desk Lamp
This desk lamp is special designed as a future light bulb shape with silver wires inside. This light bulb is just like a UFO items and made of glasses. Great designer decor. for modern or retro home.
The government is covering up the existence of a UFO light bulbs made of glasses. Trains.com will delete this post because they're in on it. eBay is Satan's marketplace. And I'm NOT paranoid.
Here we go again!
