1 to change the lightbulb and 12 to tell you that if you didn't buy a Dillon blue lightbulb you wasted your money?

4 to say they bought broken Dillon lightbulbs, but took advantage of the baller-tastic warranty and got new lightbulbs and sold them all off, forgetting to replace their own, broken, lightbulb.

someone has a lot of downtime.

No no tim.., Anastasia sent it to me via email and explicitely told me that unless I posted this on the forum... I would have to change my own light bulbs.

You guys need to remember that even though we have over 1,500 members, only a couple of hundred are active posters.

 

I keep saying that we have to be careful of how we present ourselves, and if we continue to bicker and argue about meaningless details, all we're really accomplishing is to give more ammunition to the pro-candle forces that would see us lose our light bulbs forever.

 

It's critical to the future of the community that all the disparate groups, especially the CFL proponents, come together under a single overarching banner to combat the well funded and entrenched anti light groups who would see use lose incandescency forever.

 

C'mon, guys. We need to stand together on this, even if we can't agree on all the details.

On another note - apparently they are switching from regular incandescent lightbulbs and forcing everyone to use CCFL bulbs in the next few years. Buy your incandescents now!

Whale oil FOREVER !!!!

What are you, some kind of anti-electricity lighting elitist?? I hate you guys. And the obnoxious mercury vapor snobs, too. Bastards.

If you're going to buy light bulbs...

10 year lifespan. Maybe I should invest in some cases.

And we all know what that is code for.

Man, those CFL's are killing the environment with all the Mercury they contain. They're a toxic waste spill waiting to happen.

 

And the color sucks.

 

And they take too long to warm up.

 

And you can't dim them (effectively or cheaply).

"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"

Who talks about the glocks on that (lightbulb) light bulb thread?

I would like a clarification on whether the bulb is to be put in a ceiling fixture or a lamp and what room it will be in.

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

 

Did you really have to kick the ant nest?

Hey, I couldnt find a "glennp inserts communist weaponry somehow into lightbulb debate" comment!

 

 

damn.

Shoot this might be a little early but I love kicking up old threads.

at least 10 forum members will discuss their personal WATT preference on their said Light bulbs and/or (lightbulbs)...

Hey, you can't forget the much anticipated "Tramps With Lamps" thread!

Don't you need a permit in NJ to change a light bulb?

Only if it is over 50 Watts

Here is my bulb.

 

 

Let there be light.

So you are saying that soon we will have people fighting over the legality of the bulbs too and whether or not they are jersey legal on top of that!?!?!

Lets not forget about LED portable lamps of the tacticool persuasion. I've pinned the collapsible battery tube, so its legal in NJ. That is NOT a light-suppressor attachment on the front lense frame! It's merely a luminosity compensator for excess photon spill.

 

 

Do any of you guys use those new energy efficient ones? Are they any good? They look like turds.

I really hate how all my friends in PA make fun of all the rules we have about light bulbs in NJ.... You should see the kinds they can buy there!
