How many posters in this Newsgroup does it take to change a
lightbulb?

.. and one to point out that if you have a fitting with two bulbs
you are much less likely to be left in the dark

.. and another two point out that if you do this, you'll be
changing bulbs twice as often g


And another one called NT to point out this isnt a problem if your
lights are made accessible in the first place, and you keep the variety
of bulbs you use to sensible numbers and sensible prices, and you
overlap the lighting areas so that with one fitting out you still have
at least some light there.

And to point out that if you use a switchbank you also get 3 brightness
levels, saving energy and making the place more comfortable in the
evening.

And to explain this was common practice in the 20s & 30s when
electricity was seriously expensive, ie it is a well proven energy
saving method. Having used such an ancient installation, and ahving
used this method in modern days, I can say its a thoroughly good idea.
