OT - Lightbulb joke...

i prefer a "pure drop" oil lamp or tallow candle. Some of the oldtimers just go to bed at dusk, now that's traditional!!

I know that you were talking about incandescent vs. fluorescent (which you spelled incorrectly, by the way) lightbulbs, but have you considered halogen? I've had a lot of good luck with my halogen bulbs and the supplier that I use is the best. It might be more than you want to spend, but in the end I think that you'll find both the output and effeciency well worth the cost. IMHO you might as well start with the best.

I hope that this shed a little light on your queery.

I make my own lightbulbs. I expect you to promptly remove all references to the contrary on this web site.

DALE!!!

What does this load of baloney have to do with whistling? Please remove this entire thread and bump all posters for a week or two from the board! Maybe that will give them something better to do than to waste everybody's time!!

Look, I hear Joannie Madden only uses candescent. Why anyone would spend the money on a halogen is beyond me.

Does anyone know GE's number? I ordered a 25w light bulb from them over a year ago, and they still haven't sent it. I tried emailing them, but they don't reply.

I was going through my parents' attic, when I found an old, pre-war, 100 watt Sylvania. I tried it out, but the tone was too bright. And guess why it wasn't very heavy, because it was light!

I know that many of you don't like my puns. But that's OK. You should hear my poetry; it's verse! JP

I don’t understand people who suffer from BAD! I had a trusty “Woolworth’s” 60 watt which did me fine for ages. (Well I did until someone sat on it) Anyway I went to “The lighting shop” where Alf the proprietor was very helpful and now have a “Seaboard Long Life” with a tapering bayonet! It’s brilliant at lighting sessions…It’s so easy to plug in and won’t be faded out by the fluorescents and halogens.

Just my 2 ohms worth,

Dave.
