Default CFLs - retrofitting low ESR capacitors


"Trevor Wilson"

Incandescents are different. They use a LOT of silicon,



** FFS Trevor - get your fist off it !!!!

There is no "silicon" used make an incandescent lamp - just a few grams of
sand.

NO comparison exists with evil semiconductor manufacture.



solder and some brass (or plated steel).


** You forgot the tungsten.

Kinda the most important bit.

And the base contact material is the same as used for CFLs.

Wot an IDIOT.
