2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is 'lamp'.

15 know-it-alls who claim that they were in the industry and that 'light bulb' is perfectly correct.

19 to post that this page is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb page.

11 to defend the posting to this page saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant here.

50 more to get into personal attacks over their political views.

3 to state sanctimoniously that this is supposed to be a friendly Facebook group and that all of this petty nonsense is a result of people abandoning courtesy.

5 admins to ban the posters who were insulting.

12 who commented just scroll down if you don’t agree/ or have anything positive to say

3 who come up with a conspiracy theory about light bulbs which either involves them catching Coronavirus or that they will fry their brains.
