As the day dawned, I embarked on a seemingly mundane mission: replacing a light bulb in our foyer. Little did I know, this simple task would illuminate more than just the hallway.
The Curious Case of Dimming Light Bulbs
As I unscrewed the first bulb, a peculiar phenomenon unfolded. While the replaced bulb glowed brightly, its neighboring counterpart dimmed mysteriously. Puzzled, I pondered over the sudden change, contemplating potential electrical enigmas.
The Power of Spares
Fortune favored me with a stroke of preparation – spare LED bulbs tucked away for such moments. With a sigh of relief, I realized the invaluable lesson of always having backups. Imagine the chaos had I not possessed that extra bulb, entailing a frantic trip to the store amidst my DIY escapade.
