    I hear that they don't even switch the power on until after the bulb's in either. Wimps.

    BAH, Changing lightbulbs inside a Farady Cage isn't the same as REAL lightbulb changing in the street!

    I've just bought some second-hand dimmer switches on e-bay. Hopefully start practising with them tonight. Does anyone know any schools that train in this?

    Has anyone noticed that the google ad at the top is now showing fluorescent lights!!

    It isn't a real lightbulb changing art unless it can deal with serious situations like whole strings of Christmas lights needing changing at once. Cause you get one bulb, and there is another and another! When you can deal with that you know you are doing the real thing and not just playing at it.

    I once had to change 3 live light bulbs in a bath without the aid of protective gloves or clothes.

    You guys are weak and suck ass!

    Do not mock me Judojedi!!!

    I have been a professional light bulb changer since my mum increased my pocket money last week!!!

    You all practice on conventional 40 watt bulbs with the power switched off, but I've changed halogen strip lights in a light or death situation!!!!!

    No Ghost Frog, we've got to look to the future, rather than looking at the archaic methods of the past. I say that everyone should train in the mysteries of the laser.

    i never train with anything less than a 60watt! and if you had read my post from earlier on, you will know that my first street light change was not under controlled conditions.
    during that dangerous bulb change it started to spit rain. it was a very scary situation let me tell you! :D

    I heard Bruce Lee thought bulb changing was too stylised and relied too heavily on stepladders and gloves.

    His ideas were more along the lines of,

    "Why bother to change the bulb when easier options exist?"

    Now I just set fire to the furniture. ;)

    Mmmmmmm, glowing! :D

    semphoon walk idiot, walk.

    Method?

    Changing lightbulbs should be carried out using the finger-tips ONLY.

    I'm sick of these sell-outs that teach the whole palm of the hand should be used to lift the bulb up.

    It destroys the tradition. For what?

    So kids can learn it and the instructor can charge their parents $356.99 a month. Makes me sick.

    And the worst thing is it gives the kids false confidence- thinking that they will never have to sit in the dark again when the lightbulb blows!
