How many forum members does it takes to change a ?

I called Sylvania after the lamp (I'm a pro) in my studio blew out. I explained to them that I really NEED to have light in the room to do my work and that their product failure has stopped me altogether and I've got a very important producer over my shoulder who isn't happy at all. I couldn't believe they suggested it might somehow be my fault because of the power in my house and then they told me to just REPLACE THE BULB!!! What a ripoff!! Would it kill them to just overnight me a new bulb at their cost???

THAT'S IT!! I'M SWITCHING TO GE BULBS!!!

How many forum members, who mix-in-the-box and say they like the way it sounds, does it take to change a light bulb.

None. They live in the dark.

How many forum members, who never mix-in-the-box and say they like the way it sounds, does it take to change a light bulb.

None. They use only candles: They're "warmer".

Hey, you forgot to mention the DUCers who would post on how better cables running to their lamps/bulbs would yield a significant improvement, especially if all other lamps/bulbs were clocked to the same current with shielded cables and gold plated sockets even though some have never noticed much of a difference although ymmv.

I'm hanging on till the next light bulb upgrade. I've heard the present version is unstable and that's why it blew anyway.

3 members who (even though they insist they've paid for a legal lightbulb) insist on using a cracked version . . . "because they once had a light bulb blow and weren't able to authorize a replacement"

[Steve MacMillan]

At least the new lightbulb is still compatible with the old socket.

[Ozzie]

Favourite, most stable light bulb versions anyone?
