That wasn't obvious to me until you mentioned it. What's the torque spec,
though?

Your electrician is also trying to snow you into thinking that only an
electrician can properly install a bulb. He must be feeling the competition
from Home Depot.

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.

Your electrician is a hack. The proper and accurate way is to use a
torque wrench.
