It doesn't surprise me that you paid no attention to the several times I said I prefer incandescent lighting. 

 

 

Then why complain about it on here that you use old tech.............:ermm:

    In the USA they're taken out by active shooters before they get the chance to.

    Slippery bathroom tiles, and now exploding light bulbs. Get out of Thailand before your aircon becomes a flamethrower.

    There: travel broadens the mind, they say.   WT&? A globe blows and it's suddenly rife throughout Asia? Such excitement - in 30 years here I have never had such fun...........

Are we a bit sensitive, much? Boo hoo.  Do you feel better now?

Eh? I was talking in general by the tone of most of your posts.

 

Good luck with your life and all those exploding lightbulbs in Asia, and be careful of those tiles - that could be the next accident to befall you thanks to the "idiots" in Thailand.  Seeya!

    Of course, and reading your threads brings a smile, and I really like helping you out with your simple problems....????

     

    Here is a test for you, turn an incandescent light bulb on and let it get hot, then splash with water, it usually explodes in all directions.  :whistling:
