This forum is not about light bulbs and please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

The proper term is "lamp."

Why has the lightbulb been changed?

Good question.

I bet he changed it for one of those new GE LED lamps.

What motive did you have for changing the light bulb? Did you change it just for the thrill! You sick person.

It's lightbulb, not light bulb, and definitely not Light Bulb. Mods, please move this thread to the lightbulb forum. (If we don't have one, create one.)

I used to work in the industry, and let me tell you, "light bulb" is perfectly correct.

The light bulb is a lie!

It's not a lie. It is perfectly true and correct, and Bush was behind this all, with the 9/11 and together with the masons that rule the world.

Get back to the lightbulb.

I want a light bulb FAQ section on this forum.

By the way, does anyone know any light bulb jokes?

Changing lightbulbs may cause burns to fingers and electrocution.

The lightbulb is greater than the sum of its parts.

The lightbulb represents innovation.

Traditionally, when a person has an idea, it's a light bulb on top of his head.

this type of thing has come up so many times before. We have a search button for a reason :rolleyes:

Stay on the topic.

Why did you bother changing the light bulb? The market would have taken care of it. Ron Paul 2008!

There are no such things as light bulbs! What you really see is an oil lamp, lit by magic.

On the contrary, we are talking about bulbs of light.

They say the correct term is actually lamp.

Lamps are freestanding.
Torches are portables
Lights(bulbs) are wall, floor or roof mounted.

Light bulbs are the glass covered filaments anyway, not the supports on which a light bulb is mounted.

I think the lamp we were talking about was the oil-fueled kind.

I have worked in Three Wishes inc. and the correct term is Djinn

Has anyone ever actually tried to bulb light?

And if so, what was it like?

Until somebody can show me where this so-called "light bulb" is, then I refuse to allow anyone to change it.

Yeah. Besides, LEDs are better.

Fluorescent lightbulbs FTW!!!

Light bulbs sux. Why do you need one when all your mtonitor does is project light into your eyes??

Oh, right, gotta find the way to the fridge.

And change the light bulb in the fridge!

And the metal holder thingy. But the filament is what you really want. Think of it like a banana.

I tried the banana. Didn't light up. :(

No, you weren't meant to use the banana as a source of energy to light up the lightbulb. I meant that the 'skin' or glass and the screw in thingy can't be digested and aren't very tasty just like the skin of a banana. If you really want something tasty and nutritious though, try Fetuses. Or is that Feti? :confused:

nice av dot :drool:

You can light up a pickled cucumber

Hey, does anyone have any definitive proof that lighbulbs are actually going to be released? I mean, all this speculative talk is awesome and all, but it's all really moot and useless.

The light bulb is a lie!

Teh tru7h!

What color does the lightbulb shine?

:mwaha:ALL OF THEM!:mwaha:

You missed yellow.

Actualy, if you model the lightbulb (or more precisely) the filament as a black body; that being something which absorbs all wavelengths equaly, and emits in all wavelengths, then you can use stephans-boltsman's law to find the peak wavelength, provided you know the temperature of the filament, which is circa 150C.

As: Θλ = 2.898 * 10 ^ 6 nm
λ = 6.7 * 10^-6 m

So the main colour of the lightbulb is: infrared!

I don't have any lightbulbs to be changed, however, I do have a couple of light switches that won't stay on, causing the lightbulbs to flicker on and off at random intervals, am I in the correct forum for help on this?

No. Your problems are with light switches, not light bulbs. Please refer to the thread that deals specifically with light switches. If none exists, create one. I will be more than happy to assist you in that thread, but this is not the place to discuss such matters. Else it will be considered thread jacking, and that is not good internet etiquette.

And yes, I will spell "light bulb" as two words. Have ya got a problem with that? Well have ya?

In response to your other question:

Our intelligence suggested that the previous light bulb was contaminated by someone we don't know with something we do not quite understand. Actually, this says more about our intelligence services than the light bulb. Sorry, but I got to make a call...

I am reporting from the select committee picked to discuss the issue of chairman for the other societies and I have an important announcement. We (through a majority of 23 to 19) officialy reccomend that the name of chairman be replaced by chairperson, to avoid offending the other gender.

It would be greatly appreciated if you would all reflect on this, and, in due course, state whether or not you wish to support to support the clause made in sub-paragraph 1.1.

I, the chairman of the committee for the rejection of the word 'chairperson', declare that the word chairman shall henceforth be used in all situation from here on. Chair manager. I HATE PC!!!!!! I don't give a $|-|!t about the other sex.

it can mean both in latin.

Gender doesn't necessarily mean male or female. I will use the correct term, 'sex.'

At least use 'xes' instead of 'sex', or rot13 it to 'frk'. Please, think about the children (http://www.myopia.org/child.jpg).

On second thoughts, we should organize a committee to make up a new word for 'sex', in the gender sense.

it can mean both in latin.But we speak English.

Or, should we order in lunch first?

Order us some lunch. I think better about lightbulbs that way.

Order some lunch, then gather up a committee to decide who should be on the committee for the collation of light bulb vendors address which the committee for light bulbs will use do decide if we need to use a 60w globe or a 50w globe.

i think first we need a comitee to decide if we order pizza or chinese food.

How much Pollution has your Light Bulb caused ? We are all going to die by global warming and peak oil and the next ice age (And Aliens) and it is all because you , YOU have used the Light Bulb.

WARNING someone has stolen the lightbulb in question, i blame it on FIFTY.

Its OK, a replacement lightbulb has been found. In fact, 23 possible lightbulbs of varrying size, weight, intensity, colour, energy use and ethnic origin have been found, and the committee on the issue is currently debating which should be included in a short list of 7 to be presented to the general forum.

Thank YOU, Lord Olleus, I almost forgot about this thread.

If I would be in any position to make suggestions to the committee I'd suggest to include the nice one with the slightly orange-ish tone. Yeah, well I know it's not really efficient considering it's energy use, but I dig the tone. :blush:

It's just called a 'light' thank you very much, and yes, I do have one! Here ya go :)

since neons are cylindar oar a tube, is it correct to call them lightbulb?

From now on, then
the light bulb name has been officially changed to:
light-tube!

since neons are cylindar oar a tube, is it correct to call them lightbulb?

It's acceptable. Or you could also simply call it a "light".

Also, I don't think we need two threads on this topic.

I think the real injustice here is that we are still lacking a light bulb subforum or something.
