You shouldn't have done that without checking the rating of the device. 60 watts could be too much! You could cause a fire! Why not use an LED light? They're way more efficient.

Be careful when changing flurescent light bulbs, if they break you get a mercury hazard

Khagg: Do you mean "That's actually funny, because that's really what forums are like"?
Shouldn't this be moved to the lighting forum, anyways?

Nobody stated what type of connection the bulb uses, or what the rated wattage/voltage/amperage is. Also, it was not noted what type of lamp technology (incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, LED) was used in the original lamp assembly.
This makes me a sad bear.

Correcting grammar is never fun, nor is it funny. Never. Except in my case.

Actually, it's one of the few joys in life. You should try it.

Yes. I was setting someone up for that. (it would have been funnier if you just did it without explaining.)

2 things. Gramm
a r has an A in it, and capitalization
is grammar, along with punctuation. Albeit, I made one spelling correction, but the rest were grammar.
Does using "albeit" make me sound more intelligent? Or British?
