How many people screw in a light bulb by turning off the light, screwing
in
the bulb in tight and turning on the light?

This, according to my electrician, is the wrong way.

Apparently, the correct way to screw in a light bulb is to keep power to
the
socket on and screw the light only until it lights up. This prevents the
contact in the base of the socket from getting crushed which makes it
harder
to get contact with each subsequent bulb.

Thank you for sharing that with us Joe. I have been doing it wrong my whole
life; I guess I will be seeing dozens of crushed bases any time now from my
years of carelessness.
