How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb?

Would there be any interest in creating a light bulb sub-board on the forum?

What about dynamo v's battery?

Could we have a sub-sub-board for human powered light bulbs?

We have a low energy light bulb that's u/s. The thing is, there's mercury inside the base including electronic circuitry, so they need to be recycled rather than dumped.

We have a 20 mile round trip to take it to the recycling centre.

Not exactly "low energy".

If we can agree on which is the best type of light bulb I could order a shipment of 2000 from Alaska and split them up into packs of 10. Any one interested.

Talking of Topic, why don't they have a hazlenut in every bite anymore!

p.s. Bayonet or screw in, which is best?

[Ash28]

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.

Which light bulb should I buy the boring but dependable touring light bulb or the sporty but uncomfortable and 2 secconds faster to light up light bulb.

Plainly, bayonet is superior. The screw-in type are American. 'nuff said

I'm going to wait and see which rotation system Mick F uses (Mick Fuses?) He will have a system where two lightbulbs last 15,000 hours each and don't wreck the fitting

It depends. When you sit and read under the lightbulb, do you wear tweed and other natural fibres, or Lycra-based clothing? If the former, use the conventional boring lightbulb. If you wear lycra, just use the lowest wattage lightbulb you can find so that nobody can see you

You could save 'em up and make a nice little ride out of it.

Actually my thought was why we were being so retro and discussing bulbs at all when LEDs are more efficient!

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