1 moderator to lock the light bulb thread.

[Big Shed]

How true, I'll close the thread now, shall I?

Before I do, there is one missing, someone will call the light bulb an LB, and 10 others will ask "what's an LB?"

[chrisb691]

Finally, we have a lightbulb thread.

My wife bought some bulbs on special, but they have thready screwy ends on them. They keep falling out of my sockets, even though I put some blue-tak on the ends. Would liqued nails be better?

[Big Shed]

No, definitely not, liquid and electricity don't mix.

You will need to buy LBs that have a BC fitting, which is an acronym that stands for?

[Big Shed]

Ooh, I forgot, now that that dreaded e word has been used I am supposed to put up the standard forum disclaimer!

This is a woodwork forum, not an electrical one. Can we please keep this on topic?

[rsser]

Which forum Dave?

[Ozkaban]

We all use electricity, therefore the posts are relevant on this forum.

.............whats LB mean?

It's an odd rule in cricket that states something along the lines of if the bloke chucking the ball at you manages to hit you instead of the stumps, then you're out.

[DJ’s Timber]

Geeze you guys, you're stuck in the old days, we don't use LBs any more we use CFLs now

[petersemple]

I just saw this very knowledgeable forum. I have a school project to complete and wonder if someone could provide me with answers to these questions.

1. The average power consumption of a typical light bulb
2. The formula to work out the annual running cost of an average light bulb assuming it is running for 6 hours every day.
3. The names of the major light bulb manufacturers
4. The history of the kight bulb.

I would appreciate comprehensive answers to these questions thank you

Keep it civil kiddies.
