muff528 3 #2 June 8, 2014 Well, someone needs to point out that the new bulb is way too small. Also, did he get video? How many bulbs has he previously changed? Was he wearing a POV camera and did he have enough experience to wear it? Although much of their equipment is quite similar, light bulb changing and and lamp fixing are two very different activities, each with its own hazards.
