2 treehuggers to point out that lightbulbs, or "lamps" are terribly inefficient and everyone should use flourescents.

2 more to put down flourescents as environmentally unfriendly and insist that everyone use LEDs.

1 blind member to ask what all the fuss is about.

I can't think of anything clever, but I'll take this opportunity to shamelessly pad my post count. Hey, at least I'm honest.:D

Re: How many forum members does it takes to change a light bulb?

Resent government funded research reviled the devices currently known as lightbulbs, light bulbs, or lamps are actually "Dark-Suckers". They function by drawing in or "Sucking" the darkness from a predetermined area, within a pattern specific to their instalation Therefore this entire thread is a moot point.

Would that be an incandescent light bulb, or a compact flourescent?
