Now with the above facts in mind, which do you think is safer?

That's the same logic that dictates about how much money the
school board can save by NOT installing fire sprinklers in a
school building.

Putting the bulbs in series seems to qualify as an improvement.
Perhaps that would not hold up in court, but we all know the law is an
ass.

No, the law _is_ the law. How the idiot lawyers and judges interpret
it is another matter. Not a subject for discussion here, tho.

I dunno about where you live, but I believe Calif. state law requires
that sprinklers be installed, so the school board has no choice. And
even if there was no law, the school board would have to submit the
building or remodeling plans for approval to the state board of
education, and that would be the end of it. If it didn't meet their
approval, it would be sent back to the architect for additions or
changes.

The fire chief told us that the architect did something really stupid.
They spec'd that sprinklers be installed in our computer room, which
is protected by a 'halon' system. So if there's a fire, all the
equipment gets water damaged. Stoopid. But the sprinklers are there,
just in case..

There's always those who will snipe at posts. But geez, man,
at least get the sniping right. What you quoted is a question.
See, it even has a question mark at the end. If you want to
attack the logic, then attack the part of the post that presents
the logic used. I'll make it easy for you: the facts are that
the bulbs were burning out 3 - 4 times a year. The logic applied
was that 3 - 4 failures per year per light over the course of 25
years yielded the 525 "ladder trips".

And, by the way, neither the question you quoted, nor the
snipped material mentioned saving money or eliminating
anything, other than the failures and consequent repairs.

Nor does your post add anything to the discussion, which
has to do with lamps. Sheesh - try to illustrate how reducing
voltage to a lamp increases longevity and you get a bunch of
uninformed bull****. F.Y.I. - the place has been inspected yearly
by the fire officials and passed every time.
