Money Monday - Twist Again



One of my bathrooms still has those circa mid-1980's clear globe 40 watt lights. I still like them - at least until we get around to redoing, but they can be a little pricey. But before you replace the bulbs, try unscrewing and retightening them. I was surprised to see that about half the time, that's all it needed to work again. Apparently when I am dusting/wiping them clean each week, they can move just enough to loosen the contact and make you think the bulb has burned out. Worth a try!
