Repairing light bulbs « on: April 14, 2012, 12:27:05 AM » Author: ace100w120v
You know how sometimes  :inc: :inc: :inc: don't have their filament detach completely when they burn out?  I know how to repair them!
Simply shake the bulb around until the filament re-welds itself to the frame. How simple!
What do you guys think? Please let me know!

Thats interesting, I kind of thought about that before but never tried it. It would be kind of hard to shake the bulb just right for the filament to re-attach. I'll have to try that next time I have a burned out bulb, put the bulb in a work light and shake lightly.

I kept a cluster indicator light in my car working for years by tapping the dash until it lit.  Thought it must be some weird electrical issue, either a bad relay or a loose connection.  I finally took it apart and sure enough, it was just a bulb with a broken filament.
