Man this mornin i was cleaning up the reptile area, and i accidentally grabbed a burning hot 150 watt ceramic bulb...OUCH! It totally torched my hand.

Whats weird is that it was turned off for an hour (i think) and it still scorched me.

I know nobody who keeps chams uses bubls that strong, but be careful. IT REALLY HURTS!

On the top of those near the base, they should have an LED light that tells if its on or off...

And the light would only turn off after it goes below a certain temperature.

I should invent things...

How about you invent a voice-activated T.V. for me?!

Yeah my hand is doin much better. Has lots of blisters all around the palm. Makes it much harder to type! LOL

Will I agree with you. Getting burned by any bulb hurts alot. The temperature idea you had sounds excellent! A little hard to make though!
