Talk:Electric light

message: "The total amount of artificial light is sufficient for cities to be easily visible at night from the air, and from space. This wasted light should not be confused with the light pollution that burdens astronomers and others, although it is the source of it."
It is the cause of light pollution — so how can it be further confused with it? Njál 19:59, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Whatever is this supposed to mean? 

message: It took me quite some time to find what it means to have higher than 100% efficiency in the table, should there be more information about that in this article or at least linked to the correct portion of the efficiency article so it is easier to understand?

thread_title:  Efficiency 

message: Did only ONE editor find the article title ambiguous? Usually we discuss moves. --Wtshymanski (talk) 15:48, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, looks like this was a good-faith move to make room for a page (Electric Light (poetry)) created by the mover a day or so ago. I propose we move the current Electric light to Electric light (disambiguation) and move the obviously primary topic back, with a hatnote to the disambig. (It may also be worth pointing this redirect to the new disambig page, since there are now two Electric capital-L Light articles.) --JaGatalk 15:34, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Consensus building 

message: Are you kidding? No History section on the article on Electric Light? I know there's one on the article on the lightbulb, but cmon. Gaiacarra (talk) 16:28, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  No history? 

message: I don't see any pages that enumerate the variety of standard bulb shapes/form-factors. Outside of Wikipedia, other web resources are confusing. In other words as a new home-owner, I've been left scratching my head about the difference between a PAR and a BR and an R. There are pages like this but a lack of photos and of dimensions and spelled-out acronyms make them useless in exactly identifying a bulb. Where should such info go? This page? A new page? Related pages include A-series light bulb, which is limited in scope, and Parabolic aluminized reflector light, which is restricted to theater lighting. Also: Multifaceted reflector.
If I can't find a high-level page for this topic, I'll Be Bold. It's been years since I created a new page, much less on a non-esoteric topic. —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 12:37, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bulb shapes? 

message: This should be mentioned on the page.
Some people are sensitive to the high-speed flicker of fluorescent lights, which most of us don't notice, and can be subject to seizures brought on by them. I know at least one such person, and they are seriously concerned over the legislated and economically pushed phasing-out of incandescent lights in favor of compact or traditional fluorescents.

message: I believe that talking about the history of ELECTRIC LIGHT without mentioning Edison's contribution is a huge mistake. 189.6.241.78 (talk) 16:53, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

text: Done: I added a mention of Edison in the paragraph on early history. You may be interested in the article Incandescent light bulb, which has a much fuller exposition of the history of this technology.--Srleffler (talk) 21:12, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

message: , , ,  The "Circuit symbols" section is not really deserving of a main section. It has some merit but not fit into any of the other sections. With the addition of the "Electronic symbol" section of the new infobox, I think the "Circuit symbols" section should be removed. This will allow editors and readers to have greater focus on the cultural symbolism section, which should be expanded, and the history section, which could use some restructuring – Kjerish (talk) 15:02, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
