Time flies when you're having fun... DOB: 02/29/1940 (so I'm only 17.5 ;-)

Finally found a "specification"...

"Medium", aka E26, is 26mm base thread diameter

Had some weird 11W small bulb standard-looking base thread in the BBQ lighting.

Found only "medium" base listings... which apparently, in the USA, is also called "standard" and "Edison". ...Jim Thompson

Wasn't Edison that snarky kid in your Electricity 101 class?

Jim was the TA.

Yep, But not "snarky", we called him "sparky" ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Bunch of kids...

Edison who? You mean the guy that FAILED 1000 times?

Screw sizes? You mean short VS tall or flat VS curvy?

Most inventors fail A LOT before they arrive at their solutions.

The fact that you confuse his "failure count" with failures in life, as it were, tells the group a bit about your attitude toward him... or us.

=A0 =A0 =A0 ...Jim Thompson

How old is this nymshifter nymnal and what is his actual experience?

Yes, I immediately thought of 'Edison base' as the US standard lamp base. A good resource of lamp information is Bulbtronics

We use them at the shop as a source for scientific lamps (Hg and Xe arc lamps).

Oppie

Don't touch them! (no, it is not a disco song)

Just to clarify- You mean don't touch the arc lamps? Don't think you meant anything against Bulbtronics. They've always done well by me.

Why do you time flies? Sounds rather boring to me! ;-)

Seems I'm on an express train... blink and I've missed a month ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Was that predicted by both your parents, or just hers? :-)

Both. The mother-in-law suggested waiting one more day ;-) ...Jim Thompson
