How many forum Members does it take to change the light bulb

[Southern Breeze]

LEDs are commercialy available as replacements for regular bulbs. We're using them in landscape lights,fountains and water gardens. A Google search shall bring enlightenment. :grin:

Dont forget that the etymology of the term "bulb" comes form the formed nature of the glass housing that maintained a non-reactive environment for the filament to glow.
Given their shape, a LED might also be considered a 'bulb', though it operates on a different principle than the incandescant lights that started the term.


(this thread reminds me, did you ever have a discussion online over the proper use of the terms 'drill', 'bit', and 'drill gun'?)

I'd like to go on record here to say that I'm a little sick of all these "Johnny-come-lately's" claiming to be using Light Bulbs.

Unless it's utilizing a either a carbon filament or a carbonized bamboo filament with an average life of 40 hours, it isn't a true light bulb.

It's a skirt.

Too funny! I love'em!

[Moosehead]

But is it an African or European light bulb. It makes a difference, ya know. ;-)

You all forgot one very important part of the forum population - those who will argue that the bulb doesn't need to be changed, because they are not afraid of the dark.:grin:

[Mike1]

And what about those that don't like change?

[mddock58]

What is darkness?

Why are we fearful of it?

Why do we agitate electrons to create light?

Do they like being agitated?

Does the light bulb/lamp go out because they (the electrons) rebel and break the connection?

What was the point of this line of questioning in the first place?
