Yes, but PDA lights can't be changed by the pilot, so they should be discussed in an entirely different thread. This thread is about light bulbs in the clubhouse, and I wish people would stay on the thread topic. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA We have 8-foot tubes in the club house, floods in one hangar, and incandescents in the other hangar and loos.

Don't forget ten posts by Matt Redsell on the bulbless, self-screwing
light that Marske has been perfecting for the past 30 years, which he has personally tested in his bathroom and found to be just as bright as a 40 year old GE bulb. |

We don't need no steenking lightbulbs! Back when I was coming up, we didn't
have lightbulbs and got along just fine. That's the trouble with younger people today--they just don't know what to do when all that "high-tech" foolishness quits working! -- Hartley Falbaum "Marc Ramsey" wrote in message ...

And, you appear to have forgotten: Five to argue that German-made light bulbs are vastly superior to any made in Eastern Europe. Two to argue that everyone would buy Eastern European light bulbs, if only they had SH or AS stamped on them. |

Mal wrote: One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed. Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently. Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs. Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs. Five to flame the spell checkers. Three to correct spelling/grammar flames. Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another six to condemn those six as stupid. Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the correct spelling. Nineteen to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum. Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group. Thirty six to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty. Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs. Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL. Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group. Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too". Five to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy. Four to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?" Thirteen to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs" Three to tell a funny story about their cat and a light bulb. AND One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again. I know some will have seen it but it is Soooooo!!!!!! True { You forgot the twenty one posts to argue whether light bulbs labled 110V should actually be run at 130V to improve their performance. Tim Ward |

True { You forgot the twenty one posts to argue whether light bulbs labled 110V should actually be run at 130V to improve their performance. According to the factory specifications I currently have right in front me, I can assure you all modern 110V bulbs work exactly the same on 130V, except they draw less current. Older 110V bulbs may be brighter at 130V, but most pilots can see just fine using the lower voltage. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |

The most dangerous part of changing a lightbulb is NOT the drive to
Walmart to buy it. Mike |
