We have a ceiling fan in the dining room. The light fixture has four (4) bulbs. They were all put in at within 2 minutes of one another. All from the same package, and all from the same manufacturer.
But now, one has burned out. It's on the northwest side of the house.
Why?
I'm thinking strange magnetic fields, global warming, ghosts and the winning run by the Bengals, but I could be wrong.
Ponder away and report back.
Jeez Gae, that's an easy one [img]wink.gif[/img]
If the fan spins that way, then that bulb will get the most wind and will end up being blown out first.
Oh wait, that's with candles.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMM?!?!?!?!!? [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]
Maybe reason snuck into your house and changed that lightbulb so that it would confuse you.
Nope, that cant be it.
Do you know how many reasons it takes to change a lightbulb?
All of them! (reason, sarcazmo, captain wizzonater, bigy sexy, live from florida and any of his other tags from his sybil like list of names he's used on this board LOL)
I think it may be a plot by the lightbulb makers.
Yeah, that's it.
They make one bulb have a shorter life soi that you'll have to go out and buy more bulbs. [img]confused.gif[/img]
Maybe they did it as a tie in with the gas companies so that you'd have to drive to the store again to buy bulbs, using more gas so you'll have to fill up more often. [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]
Yes, it is obviously a devious plot brought forth by the democratic party to make you beleive that it is a plot by the republican party so that you'll vote democratic in the next election [img]confused.gif[/img]
Either that, or the lifespan on the box is an average and that one was the anchor of the group!

My thoughts exactly, Jump.
I have other things for Greg to ponder, but one thing at at time.
The Big Sexy apologizes for butting in, gae, but perhaps you can ask greg on behalf of the Big Sexy what happens when one plants birdseed.
The Big Sexy awaits with baited breath.

The Big Sexy has THE answer to gae's most excellent question. The bulb that burned out soonest was manufactured by a Democrat, while the other three were manufactured by Republicans. That they ended up in the same box is a fluke, probably due to a Democrat line manager.
Had you been in Austrailia, the southeast bulb would have burnt out first. Think about it.... [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]
I guess it depends on what kind of bidrseed you planted.
But I do know that io you spriinkle some on the gound eventually birds will appear [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]eek.gif[/img]
Makes you kinda wonder how they can plant seedless grapes or watermellons? [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img]

Once again it takes an expert to figure this out.
There are four lights in the fan. The lights are wired in series so the first light in the circuit receives the most current, illuminates brighter and consequently burns out faster.
Not necessicarily obi-wan.
We have an electrical light fixture with 4 lights in a row attached to the wall in the head. To date, the second from the right bulb has burned out, and most recently, the second from the left bulb has burned out.
OK, OK I just made that up. Actually both your light bar and our fan lights are wired in parallel otherwise if one light burned out all the other lights would quit working. Like those old Christmas twinkle lights
