BTW at a place like Home Depot, if you have a complex problem try to
find an employee who doesn't smile because that person is probably a
contractor working part time. At one of their stores that meant the
lighting dept. was staffed by an electrical engineer who testing
lighting at UL.


At the store here, the electrical "expert" is a mouth breathing
neanderthal.


That would likely be the best estimate of an EE testing lighting at UL
who had to moonlight at HD...

In a similar vein, the local TV news obligatory blurb from the CR "lab"
test a couple of nights ago was on CF bulbs. A very carefully staged
clip showed the "trained professional engineer" in his white lab coat
and carrying the clipboard "testing" these bulbs by turning the lamp
switch on and off in succession going down the lineup...

Oh, and it ended w/ the technical feat of unscrewing a bulb and
carefully replacing it w/ another while wearing cotton gloves...

Was he chanting "righty tighty, lefty loosey" while performing the feat?
