Mr Revvy, your questions are nothing new to experienced illuminati like us here at HomeBulbTalk.com. To answer your first question I believe many people have had good results with Mr Bulb kits but I personally wouldn't use one to illuminate my dog's kennel. If you are serious about Bulbs you need to be manufacturing your own glass.
Your second question shows the standard impatience of the noob. It's something I like to call "noobitus". (Write that down.) If you switch on the bulbs too early the light will be decidedly green. If you try to impress your friends with it you may put them off homebulbing completely. Try to wait at least two days before trying your first.
Lastly, "swmbo" as everyone knows means "Silly Woman, Men's Bulbs Only"!

hahaahah you people are still making light bulbs? Solar is where it's at now, man. Totally green and non polluting.
Except at night dude! Or are you thinking of creating bulb light or bulb dark?

There's only two types of bulbs, light and dark, who really needs to get more complicated than that?
You forgot dim bulbs. Not quite light, not quite dark, but dim. Do you mash higher or lower for dim? And what would your tungsten schedule be?
You shouldn't try and flame those interested in exploring the different levels of light and dark. They are plenty of different ways to light a room, and we should show tolerance for whatever choice someone makes.
Having said all of that.....
...Why isn't my light coming on? I swear I followed the instructions, but it's just not working like i'd thought. I mean...it turns on and off ok....I guess, but somehow it's just not as enlightening as I'd expected.

Is it safe to switch all of my lighting fixtures to these
or should I wait until my current lights go out? They've been going on and off for years now but I don't want to do it too soon. Is it safe or should I wait?
Back to the thread, should I switch to these or should I wait? Maybe xenon strobe tubes- noob....
SWMBO? I've seen it posted before but what does it mean? LME/DME? WTF!?!?!? I'm to drunk on coors light for acronyms!
ewww. coors.. *shudders*
Meh...you don't need to go fancy smancy to change a lightbulb,
This works just as well
And the light's just as good as one changed on a multibazillion dollar herms system...
Peeing on an electric fence would result in a better light source than what Mr. Bulb makes.
Yeah, well.....That I hear is how Anheuser/Bulb makes THEIR products...are you saying you're an Anheuser/Bulb lover???
AND you call yourself a homelighter....Sigh...
Hey, I can't find any filaments in my local home bulb shop, tungsten or otherwise...has anyone been successful in making lightbulbs without filaments? This filament shortage blows...
Enough with you EACs. I'm going to go post on the other light bulb forum where they actually care about light bulb n00bs instead of just making fun of them.

They're only hating you because you didn't search first. Just use the search tool, Tool.
I want to get into homebulbing LEDs, could we have a separate area for people who are into such high-tech homebulbing practices?

Revvy, how dare you, I would wait it out. You never know what those little spikes of infection will add to the final Lighting experience. Could be the best bulb you ever made!
Oh no...I should have used a blow off tube!!!!!!!!!!
I dunno, Revvy knows his bulbs and I'd have to agree. I think that crud will only spread. Dump that batch.
Oh no...I should have used a blow off tube!!!!!!!!!!
now there's a bulb bomb.

Sorry to hear about your loss there- Did you have it under 110 or 220 volts? Or maybe it just didn't get better with age?

I think that was because you tried to get too advanced for you own good..... dont try and run with the big boys and try and make a 100w right out of the gate

Sadly these are on the smallish size, they're only 60 watts...anyone got any bigger ones to post? 100 watters?
Maybe a little 3 way action?
But these are a little green...

You might want to rephrase that, especially that part about going in the socket. Makes you sound, well, you know.

whaaaaa get your mind out of the gutter. You dont want to put a light bulb with a higher wattage than what is reccomend into a light socket. Thats a fire hazard!
That's an awful attempt at recovering your dignity. At least you made an effort.whaaaaa get your mind out of the gutter. You dont want to put a light bulb with a higher wattage than what is reccomend into a light socket. Thats a fire hazard!

Way to resurrect an old thread, dude. Start a new one if it's too old.
You mean these??
NATTY LIGHT?? That's not even real beer...er bulbs...they are just for a cheap highlight... There's no illumination in there...and there's barely a filament presence to be had...
Natty light is for wussies...
I'd rather have something dark...

I dont like dark light, its too heavy for me.
Racist bastard
But color isn't really representative of intensity and body...I mean sure some black lights are heavy...Like this one.
I'd call that an imperial stout...but on the other end of the spectrum
D) is the scwartzbulb....
It's really NOT that filling....
