Default Re: The lightbulb conspiracy

Thought I'd add my 2 cents..
I have some christmas tree lights which use 12v filament light bulbs up in my loft which haven't required a new bulb fitted in over 20 plus years..
I bought 2 sets at the time and simply daisy chained them in series ..thus each bulb would only be using 6v -ish ..
yes they are less bright individually..but imo ..safer ..and less likely to catch fire....and will probably still work fine long after I'm dead.
and yes I know LEDs are used today ..but imo harsh on the eyes.
