We threw NOTHING away which could be salvaged in those days. But that was an old Yankee tradition exemplified by the then-familiar verse:
Use it up,
Wear it out,
Make it do,
Or, do without.

Some newer bulbs don't fit the older fixtures. I also find the quality of brightness bothersome. They can be blinding to my experience. I don't know what technologies they are; LED or otherwise. Reading and comparing packages. Some sound like improvements but these sound built for newer homes with different wiring. Cheapest to some expensive bulbs and they don't work properly if too modern. They die of electric surge or when they say it will last they don't. Yet the wiring of an older built home doesn't seem to suffer damage. I try not to purchase these on the internet, I think I once purchased not made for the region at all, maybe light sockets are different such as wall outlets. I forced it in and when I turned the light on it popped! :lol:
Good verse! :)
