    They didn't get that way on their own. This is what happens when a couple generations of parents turn parenting over to others.

    If it is a burned out incandescent light bulb send it to me I'll fix it to work in my 12 volt system.

    I bet many millennials are fed up with my generation. We are just hanging around using up their inheritance and burning through social security. And if there were a psychiatrist in the lot, he/she would convince the light to change itself, but it would have to want to change first.

    Changed both my homes to LED bulbs, since the prices have really dropped and light color levels have improved.
    Got really tired of buying a pack or two of incadescents every couple months! Their QC went into the toilet in recent years.
    A few lights still have CFLs, but I am getting away from them too.

    CFLs were and still are an offensive joke if you ask me.
    Incandescent may have been a bit more power consuming, but they did not require a hazardous waste disposal .
    I'm glad that I bought very few and went to LED DC long before all that noise.
    I hold onto incandescent for my chicks ,as a mild heat lamp but that's all .
