Bulb life not in hours, but y.m.d before bin.
ISTM that estimates of bulb life in any case are wide, one site saying 750 to 2000 hours. I guess this is based on the pattern of use, so would take a mid point average. BUT what is 1000 hours life? How many hours per day is the supposed use of a domestic bulb? Then one could guesstimate a reasonable life in y.m.d. How do…
