Did the bulb burn out or just upgrading?

Ron I would say fluorescent tubes. Does that make me one of those other guys? /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

It doesn't make any difference how many it takes to change a light bulb. Just please save all your burned out bulbs for me. My wife wants me to build a dark room! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I only use Tubes in the Barn and Shop.
In the house we use bulbs.

Is there a way we could get Ramon49 to mention that his L3130 is underpowered and tie the light bulb into the theory of why that is and how he got shafted.

My only thought was when he bought it, they were giving light bulbs away as a door prize. He got mad when they wouldn't work, blamed Kubota for conspiring with the bulb companies for this condition.

Gatorboy, working as a double agent for Ramon49 tries this thread to see how many people will get upset with light bulbs before transitioning into the L3130 theory........

I might be close here huh fellas. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Naa. I doub't it. Not for a looooooooooong time to come. Too many other uses for incandescent lamps for -other- than lighting purposes, where a LED simply would not be an acceptable replacement.

The designers of the solid state transistor said the same thing about vacume tubes. And here we are in 2005, and the best guitar amps are still the 'warm tube amps'.

Many applications use a lamp as a heating element.. LED would not be suitable there. Some appliances use a lamp as an excess load indicator/power bleeder/fuse, etc.

There will probably also be a discussion about 'synthetic' bulbs.. and then a bunch of acronyms.. like TBN.. TDS.. and for heavens sake.. home test kits to see if your light bulbs are working!

Don't forget, we need to debate why we drove our pick-up instead of a small tin can to Wal-Mart and then why we sat out in the parking lot with the truck at a "fast-idle" while are wife ran into the store to pick-up the lights bulbs and "Just a couple of things. I'll only be a minute." /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif ......4 hours later I get to go back home and install the light bulb that blew out while I was trying to do......
