33 advising 'Don't buy a gray market light bulb. Nikon will never repair it'.
16 advising ' Go to a good light bulb store and handle all of the light bulbs'.
12 saying 'Its not the light bulb that counts - it is the person at the switch'.
52 recommending to buy used or reconditioned light bulbs.
12 warning that mirrorless light bulbs are the future.
16 claiming that good shades are more important than good light bulbs.

You forgot that 27 will hijack the post and start talking about their own problems with a flashlights bulbs
and you forgot that at least one will mention reporting this thread to Admin
. . . and 2 that will start using profanity towards each other on at least 3 pages of the posts
