Well, there are those forums where the admin would be screaming, "Change?!? You want me to change something?!?"

Little-known secret - I used to pastor a church and church committees move slower than glaciers. I always told my congregation the surest way to see progress come to a standstill was to start appointing committees. :rofl:

I think the proper word is Bulb or lantern.

Well, just to make sure we hit all the bases mentioned above :buttkick:... a light bulb is a consumer word... Professionally, light bulbs are called lamps... when you combine a fixture and lamp, then it is called luminaire...

Now you have the rest of the story and we are officially way fftopic:
