I’ve never had light bulbs that burn out so fast – I wonder why?

    Should we stock-up on incandescants now? Of course contry of origin is important. Sorry for your bad experience.

    I have a theory that they’ve been replacing the tungsten filaments with hemp fibers.

    It just hit me why – GE wants people disgusted with incandescent light bulbs.

    In the kitchen, I have 5 lights on a track lighting fixture. All 5 were working two days ago. Now only two – the ones still working are the originals in place when I moved in last August

    Methinks they just don’t make them they way they used to.

    At least the new CFL models found a new use for mercury now that they don’t put it in thermometers and Freddie’s dead. Yes, that’s what I said.
