(04-19) 13:09 PDT DALY CITY -- A 19-year-old gas-station worker in
Daly City was electrocuted as he was changing a fluorescent light, an
autopsy found Monday.


Mustafa Algazawy of San Francisco was changing a 16-foot-long,
120-volt bulb


A sixteen-foot-long bulb?


Is there such a thing? Longest I've ever seen is 8ft.


I've installed some ten foot HO sign lamps before. It's not
something you will find at Lowe's-Depot.

TDD


I know they make some long ones, BAck in the 60s my dad ran a filling
station. The office ceiling was 10ft and I remember that you couldnt
stand the bulbs up inside the office.
