How many recording engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

Sweetnubs: "I'm tired of all these George GEs thinking they can replace bulbls at home. Thomas Edison is turning in his grave as we speak. I've got a couple of terms for these guys to look up: wattage, flourescent and incandescent. That oughta' keep those Sally Sylvanias busy for a while."

I'm surprised no one has brought up those new digital lightbulb modelers...

Check out the post immediately above that one. ;) :D
 
Behringer bulbs are known to cast grey shadows and are not quite sharp enough around the edges. You may want to re-think your choice about those bulbs.
 
paying for a bulb changer?

Does anyone know if I can download Bulb Changer XL 2.0 from Kazaa?

... Also, watch for room nodes that can actually create dark places in the light pattern.

Hey, don't laugh: that's true (well, sort of: in a room, the light is so diffused by reflection that there's no pattern of interference). That's Young's "slit" experiment, which is how we (people, that is) first figured out that light has a "wave" nature to it. The dark places are just really small.

Also:
In butterflies, iridescence is caused by multiple slit interference. Sunlight contains a full range of light wavelengths. "Interference" occurs when light hitting the wing combines with light reflected off the wing. Light is a wave. If the crests and the troughs of the waves are aligned, or "in phase", they will cause constructive interference and iridescence. This happens when the one light wave hits the first groove, and a second light wave travels half of a wavelength to an other groove and is reflected back in phase with the first. If the crest of one wave meets the trough of an other wave ("out of phase"), they will cancel each other out, demising the overall light intensity.

Blue light has a wavelength range from 400-480 nm, and is the only wavelength that is interfered with constructively by the slits of the morpho, which are 200 nm apart. The slits are attached to a base of melanin, a material that absorbs other light, further strengthening the blue image.

All of us lighting designers and lighting techs are getting pissed off.

IT'S CALLED A LAMP, YOU STUPID AUDIO GEEKS.

But if you start calling it a "lamp," you'll get the interior designers jumping on you, telling you a lamp is a beautifully shaped object that goes with the drapes.
 
Well, it seems that the light bulb that can be spoken (of) is not real one.

Problem with todays' commercial light bulbs is they're all finalized to emit the same light levels..

man, this thread is getting way too long :p
 
Littledog's post was tops, but here's mine anyhow:

Vintage bulbs are best and worth the expense: they provide a more even, musical light that is easier on the eyes. Some of these new digitally modeled lights are so harsh they require the use of sunglasses to filter out the excessive brightness. I got lucky and found a hidden cache of vintage bulbs in my grandmother's attic and they just blow the newer stuff away.
