Audible Nectar Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 One to ask if the light bulb is NOS or current production (NOS is better, of course). Another to make sure that it measures proper current draw parameters. A third to make sure that the light is cast in an evenly dispersed pattern (and if not, to discuss/examine proper placement or relocation of the socket or lamp). A fourth to interject that flourescent is better and more energy efficient than an incandescent version. A fifth to inform you that the rheastat operating the light bulb's dimmer switch is a detriment to your audio system. A sixth to beat the hello out of the other five, and to actually screw in the light bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 That is classic. Need to add, 9 to say that used is way better than new light bulbs and that if they are re-built with high quality filaments, they can blow away new bulbs costigng many times the price. 3 to say that that not the way "Mr. Paul W. GE" would have changed the bulb and why are you trying to change his masterpiece. I need to know the Avitar. It doesn't look like Beetle to me.

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted July 29, 2006 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2006 You forgot about the 5 who will discuss the differneces between "natural light" bulbs and regular bulbs The 3 that will discuss the advantages of extra "head room" with 150 watt bulbs over 5 watt bulbs Then there is the 18 that are needed to discuss the advantages of halogen vs. tungsten vs. mercury vapor And then there is my group, the 80 required to point out to the bulb experts that candles and oil lamps (analog) are far superior to bulbs because candles/lanterns provide a constant source of light and with a bulb you are only seeing what appears to be a constant source of light which is reality is the light flickering on and off 60 times per second, or in the case of Lutron dimmers, ever increasing time between flickers. As a result, the light that you think you are seeing if different then the light that is actually there and the only way to elliminate this difference is with candles and lanterns.

J M O N Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Then of course everything ends when all h-e-double hockey sticks breaks out when the benefits of low power light bulbs are compared to those of high power light bulbs and the thread gets locked...
