So the other day I realized the cord to my ceiling fan light was broken. You know, so you can leave the fan running but turn the light off? So I thought: Gee I'll just unscrew the lightbulb until it blinks off and then I can have the fan but I won't be using the electricity for the bulb and the dimmer room makes you think it's slightly cooler in the house... good idea, right? WRONG
Tonight we just barely had put Nora in her room for bed. Like maybe 2 minutes when CRASH! We look over and there is our nice light bulb broken on the floor! Glass and that white powder were everywhere!
So here is my tip: Fix the chain if you want your light off! LOL I guess the vibration from the fan spinning unscrews the lightbulb if it isn't completely secure!!

wow! that had to be a little scary. Im always terrified Ill light something on fire when it comes to anything electric. :P So, its sitting in the sunshine during the day and little lampshade type lamps at night. Hope everything was an easy cleanup and y'all are okay.

alee regardless of wether or not there was a lightbulb in there if the switch was in the on position the same amount of electricity was travelling through. You actually have to turn it off to get any benefit.
