Then, of course, there will be:

123 to discuss whether it is best to use clear or pearl glass

234 to discuss which size and wattage of bulb should be used

345 to discuss whether bayonet fitting bulbs are preferable to screw in bulbs

456 to discuss whether coffee table lamps or free standing lamps are better than one or more ceiling lamps

567 to discuss the pros and cons of spotlights, recessed lights and dimmer switches

and of course a new thread detailing the type of shades to use including photo's of shades, links to shades online, pictures of peoples own shades and further discussions on the pros and cons of see-through shades versus opaque shades versus fully covered shades giving a softened illumination.....



















...and then 1063 people to complain about how boring light bulbs are, how they wished we'd never got onto the subject..... and could someone PLEASE bring back the butter thread instead!!! :yh_rotfl :yh_rotfl :yh_rotfl
