More than a few times lightening storms have burnt out bulbs in my home....i guess if these expensive contraptions get zapped im out a ton of replacement money for them all....
HERE’S an fyi folks....if you have arthrities and have trouble with turning lamp switches....there is an adapter available at any hardware store that turns a metal lamp into a ‘touch lamp’ [you plug the adapter into your outlet and plug the metal based lamp into the adapter]
Of course the new bulbs will not work with this adaptor so the arthritic elderly are out of luck....nice...
