According to Joe :
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.

That's exactly the worst _possible_ way.


I concur. I only change lightbulbs during power failures.

Better safe than sorry.
