nacmacfeegle 0 #12 February 8, 2006 If more people used long life bulbs you simply wouldn't have so may light bulb threads, its a plain and simple fact, anyone can Google the stats.. You'd also need a couple of posts discussing the pros and cons of LED lighting, cold cathode technology, and other low energy forms of illumination. Candle users would be scorned as being environmentally irresponsible, 'wax guzlers' if you will.....

Au contraire Mike, you can now get LED replacements for standard light bulbs, and if you choose to fit them, you wouldn't have to change those old ones out as often. Had Jeffers and I spun off and dribbled on about using DMX contollers to change lighting then you may have had a point.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
