[–] Krzd@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) How do you go though so many light bulbs?? I haven't had a single one fail in the past 2 years permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) We use incandescent bulbs as heaters to keep water pipes from freezing in the winter. When put in a brooder lamp housing they're safer than dedicated space heaters on a thermostat and useful for places where heating tape isn't practical (eg around a pressure tank) We usually go through 8-10 100w bulbs a year across the three pump houses and crawl spaces We have to maintain. Running continuously they only have a life span of a couple months. Very unusual situation of course. Idk i think we last bought LED's for the actual inside of the house maybe 5 years ago lol. permalink fedilink source parent
