Light bulbs


Why are there so many different ones and why do they cost so much. I'm sure one used to fit everything

How to fix an open circuit filament in a light bulb. I tried this in the 50s, you could get a few extra months use.

i-spy: We've just had to go on to the EU "saving" bulbs. Supposed to last a lifetime. Only lasted six months then had to buy new ones.

I bought a lightbulb marked "lifetime guatantee" and it broke after a month.
I took it back to the shop and the woman said they wouldn't honour the guarantee, as it was dead!
