How many Becs does it take to change a lightbulb? None! She sits in her dressing gown with her feet up, sipping a glass of chilled Chenin Blanc and watching a nice young man do it! lol xxx |

Just told you - a current surge! When you turn a light bulb on it is cold, its resistance is low and the current is high. The high current heats the wire, the resistance goes up and the current falls. This all happens very quickly though. Once the filament gets brittle that surge can cause it to break and the bulb 'blows'. That's what causes the circuit protector to trip. All you do is then reset it and change the bulb. Janice |

Oh fair anne!!!! My husband is so useless that he doesn't even notice when a light bulb goes!!!!!!!!!!!! I once left the dead bulbs to see how long it would take him to realise and it got so that he was answering the phone in the hall in the dark - and he still couldn't put 2 and 2 together!! No, it's me I'm afraid; I teach physics :-)) Janice |
