"Since when has the thermal performance of a light bulb been undocumented and unreliable?"
By making assumptions as to what type of a light bulb it is (which in this setting one could not know beforehand). F.ex. LEDs give off very little heat.
- alanh 16y agoRight. When this question first became popular — I remember hearing it from my grandpa sometime in the 1990s — CFLs and LEDs were not common at all (though fluorescents were, in stores/offices; but I think most people assume this is a room in a house.)
