Today I changed a lightbulb and I am thoroughly pleased with myself.
Its lamp you goon, nobody in the lamp tech buisness calls it a lightbulbBlitheringIdiot said:I was just about to do that, however I am slightly concerned about the dangers of changing lightbulbs (is that spelt right? Or is it two words?).
I believe thats an incorrect link you posted there, the correct link being:sibanac said:your friend is on crack, I used to work for the Moscow Electro-Lamp Factory so i know for a fact that lamp is the correct name in the industry
"Me tooDigitally_Remastered said:Nope. I believe light bulb is in fact the correct term.
there are no circuit boards in lamps therefore lamps are not electronic, but electric appliance.Digitally_Remastered said:I must inform everyone reading this thread that great care should be taken while changing lightbulbs.
(I also think that this thread should be moved to the 'Electronics' section)
Orb of Illumination you fool!Archeon said:Old.
You'd all better stop this crap now, or things might happen to you. Everyone knows the correct term is illumination orb.
Archeon said:I should warn you, I have fights with my mates all the time. Last time I slapped Timothy so hard his cheek went red!! So you'd better watch what you say to me, i'm well'ard!
Jupitus said:It's supposed to be called a 'lamp', I understand.
Well done BI.
I should also warn people that even though you may turn a light off at the switch, the intricacies of their wiring setup means that the wires within the fitting could well be live. Always seek expert assistance if you are unsure about any technical operation involving electricity.
