oldasdirtrider Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 How many forum members does it takes to change a light bulb? 1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently 7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs 1 to move it to the Lighting section 2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section 7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs 5 to flame the spell checkers 3 to correct spelling/grammar flames 6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid 2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp" 15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct 19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum 11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum 36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty 7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs 4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's 3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group 13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too" 5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy 4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?" 13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs" 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

ScrewMachine Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 What kind of wattage are we talking about? 403544[/snapback] We cannot be concerned solely with wattage, we must also know the voltage as well as the amperage draw. And don't forget candlepower ratings. All of these factors must be known before we can compute and further discuss the details of this application. Good joke by the way.... too bad it's the truth. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would of been 10 min of work (including changing the bulb) if we dident bother with the switches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxMeltIcexX Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 What is a light bulb????? 403841[/snapback] light bulb: electric lamp consisting of a glass bulb containing a wire filament (usually tungsten) that emits light when heated...The incandescent light bulb uses a glowing wire filament heated to white-hot by electrical resistance, to generate light (a process known as thermal radiation). The bulb is the glass enclosure which keeps the filament in a vacuum or low-pressure noble gas, or a halogen gas in the case of quartz-halogen lamps (see below). In Australia a light bulb is commonly called a light globe, most Australians don't realise that "globe" is not used in this sense outside Australia.
