7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

I would like to point out that there are no periods after each answer to the question, except there is a period after the last answer. I hate to be one of those guys, but there really should be some commas in there at least.

1 (Cayars) to provide a lighbulb-like STV for free

3 suggesting we try out the newest lightbulb beta

11 wondering why their remote doesn't turn on/off the lightbulb fast enough

5 to flame Dan for not releasing "Light Bulb Studio"

[ckron]

Sorry, I could not resist

13 seems a bit high for linking all post and quoted material. I'd say maybe 1 or 2

Could someone explain if this is in reference to incandescent or fluorescent lightbulbs?

[Menehune]

LED lightbulbs

[silkshadow]

Please, this is a SageTV forum, discussion of lightbulbs should be done in a lgiht fixture forum not here.

Oh, I don't know. I use light bulbs and I'm sure many others do too. In fact I often use them while using Sage. So I think it's perfectly relevant to this forum.

Only with you nuts can you get a full thread going on how many of us are needed to change a lightbulb....

[RedCoat999]

Can i control that lightbulb from my computer at work???

[heffe2001]

You can control your lightbulbs from work if you install Lantern services on your Sage server, but I don't have a link to the current beta

This thread is about lightbulbs. Please discuss nuts in a thread pertaining to single-seeded dry fruit. Thank you.

I have been lurking here for a while but still don't feel that I've seen a satisfactory answer . . . how many forum members does it take to change a light bulb?

[Opus4]

Didn't we go through this already a short time ago? Sorry, but it isn't time to ask this again. Please note this in the original post:

If you change one, just be careful that you don't fall over backwards while standing on a wheeled office chair. And, if you are using copyrighted bulbs, you aren't allowed to share the light with anyone else.

[korben_dallas]

Submit a support request. I bet George knows the answer.

I believe "Limited Use" allows you to share some light - meaning that a proper shade must be used or the light must be for educational purposes (i.e. the sharee is using it to read a textbook).

Sorry about breaking the six month limit, but with technological advances happening so quickly these days . . .

[Menehune]

And please dispose of them in an environmentally sound manner. Most flourescent tubes (and LCD projector bulbs) contain mercury which can cause environmental damage. Flourescent tubes with green colored bases meet the EPA "green" requirements and can be disposed in regular household trash.
