Light bulb ban to take effect

Damn. Wish I had seen this last year:

Well, the good news is these are still available in 60 and 100 Watt versions from Home Depot. They cost $45 for a box of 10 and I was floored that Home Depot has a 90 day return policy on them but more so that they have a 1 year manufacturers guarantee! A light bulb with a guarantee??? WOW! Oh, and free shipping if bought online.

Now the bad news: Our society is doomed. Home Depot has a "instillation manual" for incandescent light bulbs... Yes, there is really a manual on how to screw in a light bulb. The public fool system has won.

Amazon has 130 Volt bulbs for much less, starting at $9 for 24 bulbs...

Well, I'll be dammed.

Check the tab in the bottom of the socket. If it's crammed down into the socket, the lamps may not make good contact and create excessive heat. Turn the power off and pull the tab out to a 30° angle.

Believe it or not, there is a 'correct' way to install a lamp. Turn the lamp enough for the threads to hold it, turn the power on, and continue turning the lamp until it lights, then ¼ turn more.
