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

[cantedview]

Hi, I am realitively new to the Forum. I have been having a hard time coming off analog light (but the Forum is really helping me)... anyway, I recently found that a good compromise is using lamp oil (trustafar84's drip method) on a AltLight Alladin310. My question is, is it safe to use oils that are not marked "ultrapure" if I cannot find any high grade oil in my area? Also, does any one know if buying oil from China is safe? I don't want to start a patriotic (flame) war, but I just don't know if I want to risk my health to save a few bucks and I have heard that in China they don't regulate the use of Botulinum in their oils. Thanks All!

China oil is perfectly safe. The tiny amount of rat poison they found in that one sample is completely safe and is also found in analog bulbs. Have you tried the blacklight poster mod yet?

Hi Cantedview,

I shouldn't worry too much about the botulinum in Chinese oils. Botox treatments are proving very popular for those who hanker after the "surprised" look, and as for death - well, we all have to die of something.

The most important thing to remember is never to hide your lamp under a bushel. This can have unpleasant repercussions.

No, if you had read my post, you would understand that I have not yet gone fully electric yet. I will keep it in mind though. Do you have a link that I can follow to see this? I would look in the mod section of the Forum, but I don't know how do use the computer for that... also I can't seem to find the CTRL+F key on my keyboard.

Many thanks, cV

The ctrlF key is right next to the any key. Although the modders gaurd their secrets carefully here is a website selling a similar mod openly. Enjoy! LSERE3G - Ribbon Electra Lamp

I think I messed up. I tried replacing my filament with marshmallow and now the inside of my bulb is all sticky. Has anyone tried this? How can I get my bulb working again?

cyanide_black - sorry about your marshmellow mod creating such a sticky situation for you.

You might disassemble your bulb and scoop out the marshmallow, add graham-crackers and hersheys chocolate from Perfumers Apprentice and use it that way.
Sometimes a slow burn first will be of some benefit.

I can't believe you would choose Marshmallow over peanut butter, but to each their own.

Bulb On!!!!

I don't know what either one of you is thinking. Everyone knows if you really want the best filler for your bulb you'll get fresh molasses.

It really is a matter of taste in light quality, isn't it.

If you are indeed content to be "slow as molasses" then of course one would choose molasses. However, I prefer the smell of fresh roasted peanuts, so of course I would choose that.

To be fair, I did try your molasses bulb mod and it was just too dark...maybe for the nightbulb but in daylight, it was a little less illuminating than even the burnt marshmellow.

Lighten up, Thyestean.

No, that hasn't been my experience.

However, if the light is on for awhile, you do get some great vapour, especially if you are using the premier electric juice distilled from the ocean water near San Onofre. I think it's called Atomic Something or Other.

Bulb On!!!!

If you think I have anything to do with the icing on the cake then you are the rest of the cake, the plate, the table, the silverware, and the spotlight. (i only added spotlight to make certain I kept "on topic" with this thread).
You are one funny laddie with endless resources in pics and graphics and comments. (whew!!!!!)
I'm now turning off the molasses, marshmallow, and peanutbutter light mod and going to bed.

[Lightgeoduck]

WOW... didn't know this thread was still around

<insert humorous animated "thread resurrection" smiley>

I have lowered my wattage since this thread started

 

[SuZamme]

Yes, I too have been become more of a "dim watt" as well.

I actually have changed to doing more cat mods.
Happy 4th.
