Danzilla Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 At least no one started talking about how 40 watts was more than enough for a guitarist but 100 watt bulbs aren't enough for bass.

Sir Ethelred Hedgerow-Hedg Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Personally I find the use of electric lightbulbs offensive. I can only get the illumination I desire from gas lamps. Any 'advancements' in technology since then are, quite simply, not up to standard. Bog visoko, a Rusija daleko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panick Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Anyone ever notice how Sylvania is just a knockoff of GE? Phillips has a new model out that is hands down better than either of them IMHO. But if you get down to the nuts and bolts of it its all about the ballasts. If you don't have a ballast that pushes enough power to the toombstones your not going to get the full amout of lumens possible from your bulb...... (Damn I'm glad my job in the Electrical Department at Lowe's came in handy for once!) Call it..... pointless? Here is a link to my other art, hope you enjoy!

saxofunk Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Phillips has great output, but long term durability is questionable. Panick - I also spent some time at Lowe's, 9 months in hardware and tools back in '98. - Matt W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenstrum Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Sorry couldn't resit this one... ================================================ Three notes - C, E-flat and G - walk into a bar. After looking them over, the bartender says: "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So, the E-flat leaves, and the C and the G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished: the G is out flat. An F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not quite sharp enough. A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me. I'll just be a second." An A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims: "Get out now! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight." The E-flat, not easily deflated, comes back to the bar the next night in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender (who used to have a nice corporate job until his company downsized) says: "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could be a major development." This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit, and everything else, and stands there au naturel. Eventually, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. The C is brought to trial, is found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an upscale correctional facility. On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless. The bartender decides, however, that since he's only had tenor as patrons, the soprano's out in the bathroom, and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest -- and closes the bar Tenstrum "Paranoid?

Oh my. I missed this thread first time around. Advice...if you use cheap light bulbs, sometimes the bulb will break out of the socket, leaving the socket in place with those nasty wires and things hanging out. And if that happens, you can use a potato to push onto the socket and unscrew it. Also, I have switched most of my bulbs to flourescent ones...the new ones give plenty of light, at appropriate color temperature, fit into a standard socket AND save tons of energy.

Tom Capasso Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Tenstrum - loved it !! I wondered if the juke box started playing Beethoven's Ninth when the D walked in.... As to all the bulb posts, I can shade no light on them. But it isn't hard to imagine the ridicule I'd be under if I tried to removed a broken bulb with a potato. Even if it worked. Men in my family (including my car-project-loving son) work with real tools. Long nose pliers and a bit of time, and I'll get the bulb out. By the way - I did a training class at a CT company called Hubbell - it was Mr. Hubbell who invented the pull-chain switch light fixture when electric lighting was starting out. Pretty interesting (well - to us mechanic/engineering types anyway). Tom www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

It's extremely easy and effective! butcherNburn I just realized that the firewall here at work was blocking the picture from being displayed. My bad.
