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

[TWolf]

It must be where all the best people are.

doesn't hurt that you're sitting beside me talking about resurrecting one of my fav threads either.... *huge grin*

True... but it's such a fun thread.

Watt !!!

This enlightening thread is brought up from the darkness again ??

Perhaps some new people can shed more light on the subject !

 

[CES]

just be careful of hands-free bulbing!

 

[Hellen A. Handbasket]

Now look what you made me do (come back in here and post THIS!)



now THAT'S stealth bulbing!


bwahahahaaaaa

I love dis thread!

 

[CES]

IMO we shouldn't stealth bulb...we should bulb everywhere!

If we act like bulbing is as bad as candling then we'll give more ammunition to those who want us to see only light from the sun

 

[SuZamme]

ROFLMAO - She's baaaaaaack! Yahoo!!!

 

[jjrose]

I hear some people use multiple bulbs...

But what strength should I get? I tried 40w and that was too weak. I tried 60w, and that was too strong. Should I just get 100w and cut it in half? Who else has tried this? How did it work for you?

Lu

If you mix your 40w and 60w in equal quantities, you get 50w.

Some will tell you to use a dimmer, which reduces the voltage but I use a rheostat which varies the current. My bulbs last longer when using the rheostat. Here's what I use:

Nice to see one of my threads from 2009 is still alive and well! haha

I hate to admit it, but after a very stressful point in my life, I went back to candles, and have been using them for the last year and a half. After much urging from the wife, I am now trying to get back into bulbing. I came back to the forum just to discover that the whole bulbing scene has changed so much! When I was last here, it was all about incandescents! I have no idea where to begin! Any advice?

Angus, candles are old technology and bulbs/electricity is too expensive.

My advice to you is to go with a gas lantern, maybe even two of them. One for you and one for the missus.

 

[zapped]

It takes 3.

2 TO Stand around and ..... about it

and 1 to report it to a mod

 

[classwife]

I wondered what dim watt revived this zombie




(figures...)

Glad you are getting away from those candles !
And you don't need those crappy bulb alike models any more either...go for the rebuildable or hybrids, better illumination !

No way! I've heard of those, and read on another forum where people were using illicit chemicals in the fuel. The last thing we need is to give the EPA more ammo against us!

Well, it is true that some dim watt (stolen from Classy, lol) can put illegal chemicals in the fuel, but on this forum, we only use 100% pure e-fuel.

 

[Dusty_D]

What's this talk about illegal chemicals?

/me goes off to find the mighty book of Infractions!

 

[AngusATAT]

I was only talking about herbal fuel!

Honestly!
