How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb...

ChadTower:

They extend out farther, though, which is a pain.  Our kitchen light assembly has three of them but they all poke out past the glass fitting.  It annoys me.

missioncontrol:
my kids' bedrooms have these little lightbulgs about half the size of a normal lightbulb and everytime one burns out we never have an extra one around.

ChadTower:

Our upstairs hallway had a light fixture that required a longer but regular wattage bulb.  It's usually marketed as a garage bulb but they're hard to find.  The part of the fixture requiring the long bulb for clearance was just some metal, nothing electrical.  I broke out the dremel, altered the housing, and wappap we're using curly bulbs up there now.  Those stupid long bulbs would burn out every 4 months, now we've had a curly in there for a year.  The light is better now too.

Ed_McCarron:
Ever notice that the 'extended life lightbulbs' you see around are simply 130v bulbs instead of 120v?  I guess it makes for a longer lifetime.



Who'da thunk you'd find a pic with both cheesecake and lightbulb???

ChadTower:

so the extra ten volts makes for lesser voltage?  odd.
