How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb?

Sorry but we cannot change the lightbulb we received as requested above by the OP.

The mfg just notified us its been upgraded to Bulb version 2a and the upgraded bulb 2a is being shipped to us overnight with a signature required (sorry). The bulb we have is unsafe for us to use. 

The good news is the upgrade is free but we need to delay its installation until the bulb adjusts to our room temperature.  This adjusting process is expected to take 5-7 days.  

The installation instructions for the bulb version 2 has been slightly revised.  These details are included in the 10 page bulb operating instructions.  The Mfg has upgraded the bulbs light sampling rate making it more efficient, less noisy and with clearer light. Please see the bulb’s release notes on their web site for more bulb feature details. 

The delay is disappointing but, hopefully, worth it because of these new features.  The Mfg also recently announced another bulb upgrade but reports it is 8+ months away. No further details are available at this time.  The new bulb 2a will be here sometime on Monday.  

.... come on Elizabeth. Let the secret out that you went the smart way by buying out the supply  and hoarding a few cases of incandescents. 👍

I forgo solid state for nos oil lanterns.A much more natural and palpable illumination.

Inexplicably, some lightbulb-changers argue that new-fangled, cool-running but high-powered, neon can approach the luminescent warmth of conventional incandescent.
