Had that happen to me a couple of years ago. Luckily I didn't cut myself or anything but I've been very careful of the amount of pressure I put on the bulb when screwing it in ever since.

And I'm sadden and disappointed that somebody hasn't said something like this so far in this thread.......

You's all like screwing lightbulbs, do ye's?

Yeah, well, I like screwing yore ma! HAHAHAHAHA!


Two pages in and I'm the first to mention "Yore Ma". Come on, people, ye're starting to slip!

Only problem with the treaded bulbs (as opposed to they bayonet ones) is that the work loose and you may have to tighten them every few weeks.


*Notes Argos specifically exclude christmas tree lights from the 16 day money back offer - so you can't change them

Apparently they're called "bayonet" ones is because they screw in just like the bayonets screwed onto the guns in the first world war (I actually heard this from a lecturer the other day). Just to let you all know!!!!
