QUOTE: Originally posted by edkowal Actually, in most cases, no matter how many people you allocate, you won't be able to change the light bulb. It will still be a light bulb. It will still be burned out, but it will also still be a light bulb. Hope this has helped to clarify any confusion which has arisen. -Ed

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.

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.

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?
I refuse to take a side until these issues are clarified.
