There are flaws in that way of thinking though

so since no one asked.............(lol) how many watts was the light-bulb? do you have the proper electrical to run that light-bulb? did you consider any other light-bulbs prior to changing it? what is it you didn't like about the previous light-bulb? what is your end goal of it? what will it be used for?

hahaha
