Well, this is my personal opinion and experience, as I do not have a degree in LightBulb Genetics, ......

but I have found that if I use the bulb that is not the brightest in the box, errr...herd, and put him with bulbs of different degrees of brightness, that the resulting bulbs do have the ability to have different brightness settings. (with the proper handling and training) However, don't do as I did and put a less bright with a less bright :no: when the resulting bulb was placed in the light socket...well....nothing happened

..poor thing.

All that planning and waiting for nothing...not even a flicker :no:

The real problem that I have is figuring out the males from the females.

Appylover2, well yes the wattless bulb does light up my life! But they don't seem to live as long as the kind with watts. They have a somewhat shorter "show" career, but while they last, we get great results!

Side note: I much prefer to screw in a fresh, easy going bulb, I try to stay away from handling those "hot" bulbs!

 

[mininik]

Did I read that right, REO? You like an easy screw... bulb? :lol:

 

[Relic]

Oh dear l'm not sure l'm seeing the above in the right light. :risa8: :risa8: :risa8:

Should I get a hard to screw in bulb instead of an easy to screw in bulb?

<contented sigh> It's so nice to see that Sarcasm is alive and well, and living on the Back Porch.

Personally I do not like the colored light bulbs, as they do not seem to "show" as well. I like my regular bulb to have some higher wattage as they do "show" a lot nicer all the way around. Some do not like to oil their bulbs for showing, but I have been known to add some scented oil on mine! :new_shocked: I know I will probably be flamed for bulb abuse! :bgrin

Disgusting, Terri, you AND your "big watt" bulbs!

Only if you put your big bulbs in the same fixture as little bulbs. :bgrin

BTW, I'm looking for a really nice 300 watt bulb with a 10,000 hour guarantee. Must have proven lumens and high Energy Star rating. Filaments must all be intact. Must also be within my budget of $0.35; terms preferred. Please send 400 color pictures from all angles, a recent video showing the bulbs performance, and an electrician's referral for me to consider your bulb.

 

[mininik]

Hey KEEPER - don't you think your post should be made on the BULB SALES BOARD? HMM??

[REO]

:new_rofl: :risa8:

When it's cold, do you keep your bulbs shut up into it's lamp shade? Or is it free choice lamp shade?

Do you bathe your bulbs every time it gets a speck on it? Or do you just let it be a bulb?

keeperofthehorses, Hmmmmm.....soooooo, do you plan on breeding this bulb??? Don't you realize there are already enough homeless, broken, and neglected bulbs out there already.

I have been considering opening my home to needy bulbs...they are more than welcome here; where they can come in and light up MY life...
