www.devilfinder.com Cheap aluminum foil lights
I read about those cheap aluminum foil lights somewhere on the internet about two or three weeks ago. Back in the 1970s, a local W.T.Grant department store was closeing down/going out of business.I bought a Philips flourescent light.It is a three seperate pieces light.One part of the light slides into another part and the light bulb plugs into one of those parts.Before I installed that light in my bathroom I wrote down the year and date on that light with a ball point pen.That light lasted fourteen and a half years untill the light bulb finally burnt out.I still have that light, nowadays it is sitting on a shelf in my bathroom cabinet.If I could find a new replacement light bulb, I would see if that light would start working again. cuhulin |
