Thinking about lights 'n lumens.....conjures up memories of...that one night many, MANY moons ago when, in my youth:
I had a ceramic lighthouse nightlight, or...was it that wooden covered-wagon with a light inside....?? Either way, I took the 115V socket/cord out and, using the 'twist-on/twist-off' function (or, that is, unscrew the bulb a bit to power-off, and screw-in to power-on...., I had it in bed under the covers with me.... Well....it seems that, in the just-barely-off mode....it managed to move to the ON position while the night's sleep was underway. Needless to say, there was the smell of burnin' cloth in the bedroom that night...maybe even some epidermal tissue, but can't recall...:) Think so, though... I DO recall it goin' through to the mattress pad, at least....
Yup...that was well before'n some of you guys were even...errrr...seein' the 'first light' at the business end of the birth canal....
Sometimes....the right instincts, and inclinations, are there....just gotta search out the right technology
But, HEY....those WERE the days of the big 6V cell flashlights.....just a bit too young to have my own, I guess.....
