How many days is that?
I have a hypothetical question: if you are trying to purchase replacement light bulbs, and the box offers some with a 15,000 hour “duration”, should you believe the claim? Or should you go for a more conservative model that offers a 10,000 hour duration? Asking for a friend.
I’ll leave you to do your own math here (hint: Google will get the answer, quickly, and no pencil will be used along the way). Suffice to say, I will never have the patience to dedicate one of my smart devices to serving as a timer, while waiting for darkness. What if your sample bulb was an outlier? Should you then repeat the experiment, several times? Somewhere, in a laboratory, a technician did just that (or the manufacturer lied). After all, the only consumer products that seem to get intensive home testing are the products in your refrigerator. Is that container of cheese spread still good? Did you check the date, or just do a sniff test? See what I mean.
Our purchase of new light bulbs has already taken place (I hope). The new bathroom was lit with discarded materials from my to-be-recycled container of nearly dead bulbs. A mix of colour temperatures and formats is setting off OCD attacks. Going forward, we’ll have new materials and (hopefully) a lifespan that reaches into next year as a minimum.
The dog believes there is something “lurking” outside, and my guess is a fox. I’m unwilling to stare into the darkness, so unless I receive a true vulpine sign, I’m putting this down to restless-canine-brain. Do wild animals understand the stress they inflict on silly puppies, everywhere?
