Bodge artists note, its cheaper to use lightbulbs for heating...


But if you're cold blooded you might need some very dark sunglasses ;-)


thats certainly one option! Or
1. run 2 in series
2. put them in black flammable wooden boxes (no Im not suggesting
anyone does)
3. paint the bulbs black (a recipe for accidents)
4. point them at something dark, and preferably flammable
5. Just pretend its Ibiza, like you say

(dont try 2 3 or 4.)

anything bar
the cable either. The end one heated slightly more than the rest, so

I was
told. :-)


I'm still shakin me head!

Sounds like he might just as well have connected all the burger alarm
wires in series and plugged in.
