They forgot one!

 

Four to note that light bulb discussions on this particular forum used to be far more erudite and important. Forum is now going you-know-where in a handbasket and this light bulb thread is just one example. Don't ask me for more examples of dumbing down and poor discussion techniques, but believe me, I get pm's.

This is obviously dated. They forgot the whole section where at least a dozen people derail into a melee (or is it a kerfuffle?) over the relative safety of various types of lightbulbs and government conspiracy to unconstituionally control our personal lighting liberties.

They did this one wrong should be:

 

Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and point out they're called lamps.

 

Well they are in the bit of the lighting industry I've been involved in. Call them light bulbs once and you are on the receiving end of a dirty look and treated like an idiot, call them light bulbs twice and you probably wont get re-employed.
