You're all being bulbist - perhaps the bulb doesn't want to change.

In that case it is up to us to enlighten it, and show how bright the future could be

I have 2 light bulbs for each fitting so I can clean one while using the other. I replace each light bulb after 2000 hours so the worn light bulb does not wreck the fitting causing me to buy a new fitting.

Why only two?

I have six.
One on and working, another being cleaned, two more under maintenance, one ready to be put into use and one spare just in case I need it.

How big's the shed? 3x5, 5x8? We need numbers...

I was hit on the head by a bulb once, I went to change it and it wasn't properly in place and dropped out. You may scoff, but if that 2oz bulb had been heavier, or if it had exploded on impact or even been hot I might have felt it!

I don't know how google ranks these things but we appear to be way down the table.
