What kind of lamp base size is that!

W. Orange(NJ) turning on to energy conservation

There's really nothing more for gettable than the common, everyday light bulb.
So prosaic in appearance. So basic in function.

But West Orange is hoping to use the bulb as a way to remind its residents about the importance of energy conservation.
Not just ordinary bulbs. These are 5 feet high and their bland bulbous bodies have been hand- painted with colorful images. The artist creations will start sprouting up in 21 locations around town beginning this week.

(More info - NO pix - at link above ...I'll see if I can get pix of all 21)







(BTW..bulbs get planted, that's a lamp )

We have a 15,000W and a 7,500W incandescent lamp at the Edison Winter Estates here in SW Florida. They still work. One was used at the 50th anniversary jubilee and the other at the 100th anniversary jubilee (celebrations for the 1879 invention of the commercially successful incandescent lamp)

If my grandfather had those in his basement workbench, sure as heck he'd still have one of those Y adaptors - so he could have 2 bulbs.

And he would probably have a 15 Amp fuse with a penny behind it too. That takes care of the problem with fuse blowing.

I used to love going to that place. They used to have field trips from the Villas Elem. school. Thanks for the brief bounce back. :smile:
