This is the funniest thing I've read so far this month. At the same time I say "ouch!" because it hits a bit close to home! So, what is the color temp of this light bulb we're talking about?
39 to talk about the technical merits of which bulb box is better, while not having ever bought or used the bulb before
25 to ask for another thread asking which bulb box is better
1 to demonstrate that the box is not important, it is "the bulb" that is important
15 to counter that the box IS important
1 to say the length of the bulb makes a difference
3 to say that the length makes no difference
4 to tell everyone they returned a bulb because there was a little tiny chip of glass in it, even though it did not affect the function of the bulb
22 to say they bought several bulbs, tried them out, tested them and returned all but one of the bulbs to the store and expected the bulb store to give a full refund on the returned bulbs
20 to say they regularly buy several bulbs expecting to only keep one and return the others after "testing."
20 to complain that they tried to return a bulb after using it for weeks, but the bulb vendor had a 30 day limit on the returns or charged a restocking fee
21 to complain about receiving a new bulb in a box that looked like it had been opened before and possibly "tested."
(I laughed several times while reading the earlier posts on this thread)
3 forum members to post a link to a new book on "Even You Can Change the Bulb"
4 members to recommend the new book "How a Professional Changes the Bulb"
13 members to argue which book is better
20 members to point out that the original bulb was made that way to make the bulb appear as common as every other bulb.
5 member to comment that the country would be better off if that bulb was never made in the first place
1 to complain upon receiving a "new" bulb from the store when noticing a fingerprint on the bulb! (poor quality control at the manufacturer!)
20 to complain about the suspected specs of a bulb that has not been manufactured or distributed yet.
12 to complain that the manufacturer does not "listen" to the consumers requests for new features
25 to complain that the manufacturer has put TOO many new features on the new model
11 to complain that the new model has features that are obviously intended for "consumer" level photographers
1 to complain that the new model has everything but the most important feature needed, so they will wait until the next bulb model comes out to buy one
3 to say "just buy it and use it now" in response to the person who decides to wait for that "must have" feature
5 to say they bought it before it was distributed, because they know someone at the bulb store or because they are a professional bulb user and so have an "in"
25 to post on a forum that they were the FIRST to get the new bulb model
6 to say they know what the specs will be on the next bulb model, before anyone else, because they know the bulb sales rep....or someone who knows someone who knows the bulb sales rep
1 to drop the bulb in water and then wonder why it has an electrical short when used
3 to announce they will be teaching a workshop on how to change a bulb
4 bikini clad models to hold the bulb for the bulb installer
5 to watch the bulb installer's bikini clad model holding the bulb
3 to post a video on YouTube showing how the bulb should be installed
4 to talk about how bulbs used to be better "back in the day"

Far better to get illegal aliens. They work a lot cheaper. After all, nobody else deserves to make a lot of money.
Thanks guys and gurls. There are a lot of good additions to this old list. The comments about hand-cranking the generator, NSFW because it's a bare bulb, throwing the bulb against a brick wall and checking for distortion... classic stuff.
So, what is the color temp of this light bulb we're talking about?
