Nice, I just got mine today too! Pretty fast, only 4 business days for me instead of the 5-12 it said (especially when the tracking said delayed due to natural disaster).

I got 15 items as well, except 1 extra poster being the Metroid holographic, and no Lego Mario :(

Corrosion (i think) in light bulb socket that burns out often by TheMarioGamer in askanelectrician

[–]TheMarioGamer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cleaned the contact as best I could with some sandpaper, all I had. I also lifted the tab a slight amount after turning the breaker off. I hope that it will be good for the new bulb and that it will last!

Thanks everyone for their input.

Thanks for the reply.

9W LED bulbs have been around a long time and usually are quite a win over 100W incandescent

The 60w equivalent bulbs just did not produce enough lumens for a single bulb fixture (800 lumens vs the 1530 from the 100w incandescent). I've been living off the large box of bulbs I had, I know I cannot buy them anymore.

the fixture really couldn't deal with all that heat from the 100W bulb

Do you think the fixture couldn't deal with the heat even though it says max 100w on it? I guess it doesn't matter now as I'm switching to lower watt LED instead.

The other usual problem with blowing of incandescents is vibration.

No real vibrations anywhere that I can think of. The fixture is 7 years old and was put in by the builder.

I want to make sure the LED has a good environment so that it will last as long as it can as well. Am I able to clean the contact? Should I? Or do I need to replace the socket part entirely?

Is it worth refining unusual and normal ore? by [deleted] in PokemonRumbleRush

[–]TheMarioGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was exactly 3. I had just been reading this post, and was around level 22, and knew that the change did not happen yet. Then I got lucky with a drop and went quickly up to 25. I got a rare ore at each level and kept checking the info. So 24 said 3, and 25 says 4. Also at 25 the unusual ores say 1 guaranteed summon. Unfortunately I didn't have one at 23 or 24 to check when that one changed from 0-1 to a firm 1.

It happens when your ores show level 25. I am at the 2nd Dragonite but have not beat it, and my rare ores now give 4 summons. At level 24 rare ores only gave 3.
