I have an overhead light fixture with 3 40 watt bulbs. one of them burnt

Yes, you can replace just the one lamp with an LED.Â* The consequence
is you
will reduce total power consumption of the fixture.

Yeah but if he lives in a liberal-governed state or municipality, he'd
probably need to file forÂ* an exemption first- and appeal it twice after
the initial turn-down. Then he would need to purchase a $150 permit,
hire a licensed unionized electrician using an equal-opportunity illegal
alien helper to hold the ladder, then two inspections before flipping
the switch -)


You are right on!!!!!! You might also caution him to hide all his
plastic straws when the inspectors arrive.


But if he lives in a climate change denying republican conservative
area he'll be lynched by his neighbors when they see the single
off-color bulb amidst the original 3. "mixed race" is an abomination
to the Conservatives - so he better change all 4 and hope the
neighbors are color-blind enough not to realize he's falling into the
"liberal trap" of believing science - which might ALSO get him
lynched.


If he was a caring guy, he would replace one with a CFL too. Diversity
is good.
