How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb?

[jmlcolorado]

All fluorescent bulbs, straight and curly, have a small amount of mercury in them and should be disposed of carefully. The old T12 straight tube bulbs and magnetic fluorescent ballasts are being phased out. The greatest amount of growth in the industry for the past several years has been with LED fixtures. Beware of the cheap stuff - you get what you pay for in most cases. (FYI: I'm a certified lighting geek - no, really, NCQLP certified...)

So I can assume the $60 per piece flood lamps I bought should be of the guest quality ?

For $60 you should have Guest Quality, but might not be the Best Quality.

HA! If I would have waited till a more appropriate time to post, I might have got the upgrade from guest quality, to best quality

I know that some specialty type bulbs will still be available, but all of the mainstream T12 blubs are supposed to be off the market per the Energy Policy Act.
I wish could be a Lighting Cop!
I'd be just like Eric Cartman - You will respect my authoritie!
Now turn over that incandescent bulb and nobody will get hurt.

My Lighting Certified (LC) credential was issued by the:
National Council on Qualifications for the Lighting Professions

 

[pops46]

I can't remember the name of the company,but he was on the news. I think it had something to do with historical homes. He had special permission to make the bulbs for like 10 years. I was just joking about your credentials hope you didn't take offence.

 

[MikeR]

No offense taken at all - that would put me into the RRR Drama Queen pool - no desire to go there!

 

[pops46]

I peaked in there and they changed the fluorescent bulbs to strobes and a disco ball...
