How many people you know could explain to you what happens when you turn on the light?
An electrical current runs through a thin wire with an extremely high melting point in a vacuum, safely using resistance to turn electric potential into heat and light. Do kids these days not know that?
LEDs kinda ruin the simplicity. Current runs into a chunk of Gallium Nitride and mumble mumble quantum mumble mumble bandgap and light comes out!
TL/CCFL kind of ruined that simplicity already.
