There are some articles on the net about using led bulbs for lighting your house.. but these are geared toward solar power.. and the houses have 12 volt power running through the house.

But like you said.. couldn't replace the heat lamp.. which reminds me.. I have to get the baby chicks out of the living room this weekend or my better half(fiance) will kill me! The cats & dogs just love watching them.. I think it's like "chick" TV!

I can just read the headline now..."Kensfarm owner killed by fiance." sub headline..."Neighbor said he was just trying to pick up chicks in the living room." /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What are you folks paying for bulbs right now?

Here it is

$.29 for 60w
$.39 for 100w
$.59 for 3way

I can remember my mom and I going downtown to the Edison store and getting bulbs for free.

Are the chinese using so many now that they are running up the cost?

We need to stop buying all of those 300cx loaders!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I use a lot of bulbs. Where can I buy an attachment to change my bulbs? Either a 3pt or FEL (skid steer mount) will do. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You should have seen her email when I sent her a copy of the "Golden Rules" "How to be a good wife" article.. I told her I was saving that one for when I need to get a restraining order! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You're right, the LED's won't work in my leftover Easy Bake Oven.

You also forgot the ones that state you must use anti sieze on the threads, and then the debate over that or oil to lube the thread, and then you know where that will go, synthetic or dino, then the analysis of why synthetic will work better /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Vin, I haven't heard the word "globe" used in that context in 25 years. Thank you, it brought back some good memories. It's amazing what you forget until triggered by a word or casual phrase.

In answer to your question, I've never seem a domestic light bulb in the U.S. that wasn't 110 volt, screw type. I have seem some special application 240 volt bulbs but I've never seen a bayonet fitting. I may be wrong but that may be a strictly Anglo thing.

Amazingly, no one has yet added:

16 to proclaim that only <font color="green">green </font>bulbs are worthy.

14 to state that the only bulbs of true value are <font color="orange">orange </font> .

3 to claim the shade of<font color="orange"> ornage </font> was ripped off from another bulb maker.

6 to plead that <font color="red"> red </font> bulbs are the least expensive.

8 to lay claim to the subtleties of <font color="blue"> blue </font> bulbs.

2.5 to claim theirs is the only one true <font color="red"> red </font> bulb, and it isn't made in Korea, thank you.

1 to chip in that his brand of bulb loader works better than that other brand of bulb loader, both of which, incidentally, are designed to work on <font color="red">red </font> bulbs--but only as long as they are Korean made <font color="red"> red </font> bulbs.

And lastly, 17.8 to loudly proclaim that it doesn't matter if the bulb is <font color="red"> red </font> or <font color="green"> green </font>, just as long as it bends in the middle.

My bulb is better than your bulb (and it's bigger too!) .... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
