EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a fascinating comparison of light bulb fittings. The duo of bulbs featured in the image presents two distinct mechanisms - on the right, we have the iconic Edison Screw fitting developed by none other than Thomas Edison himself back in 1909. Its threaded base provides a secure and efficient connection to electrical devices, making it an industry standard even today. On the left, we are introduced to the bayonet fitting, characterized by its rounded shape and unique connector design. This type of fitting is widely used due to its simplicity and ease of use. It effortlessly slides into place with a simple twist and lock mechanism, ensuring a reliable connection between light bulbs and their bases. The photograph invites us to delve into the world of lighting technology as we compare these two essential components that power our everyday lives. As we marvel at this visual representation of innovation in action, it serves as a reminder of how far we've come since Edison's groundbreaking invention over a century ago. With energy efficiency being paramount in modern times, understanding different types of bulb fittings becomes crucial for selecting suitable options for various applications. This thought-provoking image encourages us to appreciate not only the physical attributes but also the technological advancements behind these seemingly mundane objects that illuminate our world.
