Has anyone heard about a stock called "bulb miser". This is an OTC stock selling very low. They make special bulb sockets which save electicity and increases the life of bulbs about four times. Tips we've gotten say that this company has a good future. Please reply with any info you have. Gurdeep Singh

#R:eisx:-44100:sri-unix:11400001:000:637 sri-unix!smh Nov 21 05:32:00 1982 The 'bulb miser' is simply a device which converts the current to the bulb from AC to DC. The DC current is much more suited for the light bulb than the AC house current was. Infact the 'Edison bulb' was designed to use DC, but would work at a reduced life span with AC. The reason AC was chosen over DC for house current was that it could be transmitted over longer distances with less transmission loss. So the 'bulb miser' is a valid product for increasing the life span of the incandesant light bulb. By the by, I do not own 'bulb miser' stock, just setting the story straight.
