RE: "4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ"
Make that 5, it would be nice to have a FAQ to refer people to.
Oh.. strike that from the record... I thought you were talking about LAMPS... and you're talking about "light blubs".
Is the light blub in my set right next to the rat wheel? You know the wheel that the rats run on, it spins around, and around.. As far as I can tell by the service manual it's the thing that makes the light blub light up. The faster they run, the brighter it gets.
