Which do you like better: GE or Sylvania? And what is your favorite "fallen bulb?!!!!!!!!

[ChuckCobleigh]

Yeah, but are there any good light bulb webcams?

You know, it's Bush's and Minetta's fault that the funding for light bulbs has been cut.

Have you ever been hassled by the police by being too close to the lightbulb? I think all my rights to lightbulb has been taken away. I hate this country. I'll never lightbulb fan again!

Now that's what I'm talking bout yo!

Jay,
You haven't gotten your copy yet? Mine came in yesterday,
along with "Popular Lightbulbs".

[jeaton]

Why is it taking so long to get my copy of the September Lightbulbs?

I don't know how recently you ventured to the South, but we don't drink "soda". Usually it's tea, Coke, coffee or some other beverage with a name. But if you derive refreshment from words that describe sounds then obviously we haven't progressed as far intellectually as the North. [:p]

Oh, and the reason they call it an "Icebox" is because you put ice blocks in it to maintain the temperature. A refrigerator on the other hand has a compressor that, when operating thanks to electricity, maintains the temperature automatically so we don't spend all day loading ice blocks. Thus we have more time for other pursuits such as photographing trains and replacing light bulbs. [:D]

You might want to think about switching over to Christmas light fanning...there are lots of them, but it’s a seasonal thing....

Thanks Ed. I appreciate that.

But only if the dim wits in Washington, who are involved in a nation wide conspiracy to keep the rest of us in the dark about the micro economics of the filament makers, and their limited contribution to the bottom line of the monopolistic socket makers, are exposed to the light of day....

Hey, wait a minute, sunlight as an option?

So, what you are saying is, if we expose the trolls to the sunlight, they will go away?

That’s way too simple, and if we employee the sunlight principle, we exclude the Montana globe blowers from their fair share of the bulb market.

Besides, we couldn’t get 306 replies on this thread if we actually posted anything that makes sense, nor could we enjoy the possibility of talking non stop to each other, and engage in self serving and personally gratifying verbiage about how we discovered the correct way of packing 10 lbs of crap into a 5 lbs bag, which no one else in the world even considers a possible or worthwhile endeavor.

Thanks,

Roland,
I keep the bulb and a half in the pantry, but I guess the GE bulb just shot the heck out of that idea!
But the GE installation instructions make a lot of sense...

edblysard: Went to the cupboard and found a package with a 3-way light bulb in it. GE gives instructions for installing these things. "To produce all three levels of light, this bulb should be tightened FIRMLY, BUT NOT FORCIBLY in the socket, to assure that all contacts are connected.
This should eliminate any doubt about what to do.
Others may keep their bulbs in a cabinet or closet for easy storage.

Also, enjoyed your original post.

Lets not forget those forum members that slip in under an alias to troll on the subject.

[dharmon]

To echo what Ed said........Lone Star is not beer...but they do make good ads........Shiner Bock...that's beer....


Lone Star is good for filling the radiator in an emergency, to keep snails off the plants or to use for cooking.

[edblysard]

Lone Star is NOT beer...
I dont think anyone really knows what it is, including Lone Star...
I do know they make it from the leftovers at Pearl!
Shiner Dark....thats beer....

Don’t we have a moral obligation to make all sockets equally accessible to all light bulbs, as opposed to the monopolistic single bulb single socket system in place today?
After all, the more bulbs that have access would result in the natural ascension of the brightest bulb in the box, therefore providing more light faster, and at a better quality, right?

And, as an added benefit, with regards to the fluorescent vs. incandescent debate, a duopolistic or triopolistic socket system means we could have our choice of either one, or both, with a reserve capacity for a third, like my new invention, the bulb and a half!

I just about had the water I was drinking come out my nose, good show. But you forgot about the eternal debate over which is better: incandescent or florescent (I am a big fan of incandescent and anyone who likes florescent just doesn't know what they are talking about).

Ed: The only one that I would add to your list is:

4 more topics started about the same light bulb so that everything can be rehashed again and again.

Thanks to everyone for making my lunchtime very enjoyable today!

My question is "What did internet forum posters argue about before light bulbs?"

Would the use of light bulbs vs LED at crossings reduce accidents?

Should lightbulbs be used to light rails to trails projects and who should pay for it?

And when you're at work or school, do you get a drink from the water fountain or the bubbler?

...Old: Cellar................New: Basement.

Hot Dogs, now you're talkin....Best ones I've ever eaten...Purchased at vendor at Daytona International Speedway {in the winter}, at a very large swap {auto}, meet....Thousands upon thousands of cars and unending used parts. Example: tens upon tens, probably hundreds of Chevrolet Impala SS models all lined up, Pontiac Fiero's lined up in endless lines....Mouth watering.
