We have found 24
strains of light bulbs each with its’ own peculiarities, some are activated by
this switch here and other are activated by that switch there. Important
factors to be taken into consideration when studying a switch-light correlation
are finger pressure and the social context in which the switch flick is entrenched. Existing wiring
in the building may be problematic, some wiring is more adequate that other wiring where rust and
bad usage can complicate a free flow of electricity. Of course, many people
just lie about their light bulbs which can become a major confounding variable
when searching for the optimum bulb-changing moment. Correlation is not causal,
so lack of light from a light bulb doesn’t necessarily mean that it needs changing. More
research needs to be done in the field of light bulb changing before we can come
up with an exact figure, so while we may be able to help you change a
lightbulb, you’re on your own with COVID.
