Frank 13 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Just to add my t'ppence Bulbs are what you plant in the garden. Lamps are what you replace when they fail - in to lamp holders. Just something my electrician son told me one day when we were discussing something Quote Link to post Share on other sites
