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:

And what about those that don't like change?

**Moosehead** · 2nd February 06, 06:33 AM

Or those that are happy with the way they are and don't think anyone else has the right to change them...? ;)

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?

Funny Thread Raphael!

How about light bulbe that do not emit light in the visible spectrum? How do you know one of those is burned out? I often had to change those in Photospectrometers.

It could start whole new bulb discussions about the quality of the light, and how bulbs just don't have to be changed as often, etc.

This means, of course, that we'll never run out of things to post!

But when the energy consumption goes down, the electic comapnies will raise the rates to make up for lost revenue...

The History of the Light Bulb

When Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb, he had trouble selling it. People just didn't trust this "new" way of making light. In order to promote his idea he decided to go around the country installing lights in different towns in order to drum up publicity. While in Oklahoma, Edison stopped by an Indian reservation and offered to put lights in any building they wanted. After much thought the Indian chief decided that he wanted lights in his outhouse, so he could see what he was doing at night. This made him the first man to wire a head for a reservation!
