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

[snakebird]

i think fluorescent is the way to go.. A fluorescent lamp or fluorescent tube is a gas-discharge lamp that uses electricity to excite mercury vapor. The excited mercury atoms produce short-wave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor to fluoresce, producing visible light. A fluorescent lamp converts electrical power into useful light more efficiently than an incandescent lamp. Lower energy cost typically offsets the higher initial cost of the lamp. The lamp is more costly because it requires a ballast to regulate the flow of current through the lamp.

While larger fluorescent lamps have been mostly used in commercial or institutional buildings, the compact fluorescent lamp is now being used as an energy-saving alternative to incandescent lamps in homes. Compared with incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps last longer, but are generally bulkier, more complex and contain trace amounts of mercury.

OMG Duck! That's hilarious!

You must be crazy. Have you ever tasted mercury vapor????????

Can anyone tell me where to get colored bulbs? I'd like to get a purple one and blue one.

Also, can I use a 60w in a 100w ceramic fixture? Can I direct drip on the 60w like I can on the 100w? Why can't I just drip on the socket? That way I won't waste any.

Doggone man! You need to read the whole thread.

It's a ILB! (incandescent light bulb)

But FLB (fluorescent) and LLB (LED) are so much better. Your ILBs are so 2008.

 

[lunaras]

I'm currently stocking up on LBs for when the FDA eventually bans all electric light producing devices for starting fires and reducing the amount of sleep people get. I can rig up batteries and switches, but the lightbulbs I can't reproduce yet. When is someone going to figure out how do do that anyway?

Just throwing this out there...I am really offended by the name "bulb". It is awkward to use, confusing because I put the same thing in my gardens, doesn't really represent what it does accurately...I mean how awkward is it to go out in public saying something like "I use a bulb instead of a candle".
Could we come up with another name for it?

yeah and the ILBs have a high filament which always burns the lamp shade

Guys, my light bulb doesn't seem to produce as much light as some of the others I've seen in video reviews on YouTube. I can't figure out how to make it brighter.

Do the guys in the videos use more wattage, or something? Maybe a filament mod?

Try the plug mod. You'll get more light. You can buy them at HomeDepot.

I really suggest you spend some time and read DonDaBoomLightBlub's beginners page at http ://righttohavelight.com/new members/get a clue/knowyourlightbulb.com

Here is a good picture of how your light bulb works.

I been working a variable ILB....I call it rheostat device or RD for short.

I want a light bulb that tastes just like a Marlboro...

Sorry, noob
Ok, how about "illuminator"?
So, where can I find a purple or blue illuminator?

The LLB produces more light and works on a completely different technology. You're confusing noobs by just showing how one type of bulb works. Here's a diagram of my DIY LED:

You probably need to blow out your bulb. You probably flooded it. Unscrew from the socket and blow on it from the end with the threads.

 

[Hellen A. Handbasket]

Don't buy this Light Bulb! What a rip off. A real mickey mouse POS. Won't fit any of my lamps. Noobies beware!

 

[juggalojedi]

thx joker it seems to have worked
