The correct term is lamp. I worked for an electrical contractor who told me ''bulbs are what you put in the ground boy!''

[phantomtek]

[cqueen]

Nah, your industry obviously isn't as industrial as mine. Its a lamp, boy!

[phantomtek]

This forum is not about light bulbs anyway so please go to a lightbulb forum.

Thanks.

[cqueen]

We all use 'lamps' so it's relevant.

[Davo]

Google It

[phantomtek]

I am not posting anymore, I can't handle the controversy these lightbulbs are causing.

Good Day.

Where do you all buy your lightbulbs from? Personally i use https://www.lightbulbs-direct.com/ But did you know, where i work at Wickes they are selling Philips Enerygy Saving bulbs for only 99p each! Bargain!

BCF also now has '1 member to telnet and hack the lightbulb'

[veeeffarr]

1 member to write a mIRC script to turn the lightbulb on and off whilst taking on the complex task of using DC++ to get illegal firmware for the bulb.

[RobB]

Several members to point out that the guy writing the lightbulb hack, sounds like he works in Lightbulb World, and thinks he's l337 because he's learned how to use a dimmer switch.
