From my experience, 60 watts have a longer lifespan and are more reliable than 30 watts.

LED "light bulbs" dominate everything else.  Life span, power consumption, purity of light... LEDs have them all.

Except price. But, that is changing soon.

Catty PM sent.

LMFAO!!! Funniest thing I have seen in these forums.

We will see how many people notice why you chuckled.

Thanks for that. I've felt a litte left out lately.

I thought you just moved it from and to comedy forum.

It's going to be hard to overcome the power of incandescant. I grew up with them and never had an issue with them. LEDs are overpriced but I do like the 'friendly' light they emit. Flourescant lights are horrible and I dislike them, they emit a more 'ominous' (SP?) light and It brings back too many memories of middle school.

Electrical engineer, huh?  Really?  Because I think I would either like to go to college for electrical engineering or computer engineering, or maybe a double-major.  Do you enjoy it?
Thanks.

Or this one?

That is 13 people not #13.

I was gonna pull a dick move and decided not to. I selected the entire thread and put it under 1 quote and then typed "Me too". Better not to have that I think.

[poo87]

I'd say my last post was pretty self-explanatory

P.S. I prefer candles.

what is THAT! it might be a zoomed picture, but that lightbulb looks huge (and pretty complicated)

---edit---
nope, not zoomed, i see a hand, and now it kind of looks like a museum replica that doesn't light up

i'm an industry expert and would like to add the correct term is exihbit

[Wolves]

I think that's Thomas Eddison's lightbulb
