Tom (Tuttle) asked in another thread: Quote:

And I thought it was a good enough question to warrant it's own thread instead of hijacking Randy's....
So.........
How many Home Theatre guys DOES it take to change a light bulb, anyway?

This light bulb would take a few home theater types to change. At 50 lbs per person, say about 320 people.

That must be a trick question, if the person holding the bulb was very heavy, it would take more Home theatre guys to lift and twist him than if he was a skinny guy. Did I win

Only one, but will keep upgrading it every time every time a new version comes out. .

None, who needs lights in a home theater.

It depends on what kind of light bulb. If it's an exposed light bulb in a closet, it takes one or less. If it's a recessed bulb in the ceiling of the home theater, it takes two -- one to notice and another to do the work. If it's a single unlit LED in a starfield embedded in the drop-ceiling of a theater, it takes three -- one to notice, another to care, and a third to to the work. If it's a lightbulb behind the VU meter on the vintage tank of an amp that's driving your center channel, then it probably takes about eight -- one to notice, one to take the amp from its spot, rewire the HT to use the receiver's built-in amp to drive the center, pack and ship the "defective amp" to a repair center, one to receive the amp at the shipment center, one to load it on the truck, one to drive the truck and then unload the box at the destination, one to receive the amp, one to deliver the amp to the repair person, and one to repair the bad bulb. Then it needs to make the return trip, but that wasn't part of the question.

Mark, assuming that these are "high-end" HT guys, the correct answer is eleven: one electrician and two electrician's assistants to rewire the house with NanometerPlus Non-Recursive Filament Wire with glow-echo cancellation(cost $415/yd.); three metallurgists to determine the proper placement of the micro liquid Lumen Dots around the fixture($44.95/3 oz. bottle); two glaziers to replace the room's window panes with RF Insta-Glass($89/sq. ft.)to minimize sensor-imparing reflectivity associated with negative refractory "ghostings" due to impurities in commercially-available windows; a two-person paint crew to repaint the ceiling with Cerulian Hi-Finity($66.87/half gallon), a paint formaically engineered to eliminate spectral blindness associated with color pallettes with a high green-to-pink frequency ratio; one optics technician to screw the bulb in with the proper torque to assure optimal filamentation setting.

You forget the project team to oversee the project John. I didn’t see any mention of QC, inspections services or the FCO team either. …..you non-conforming rebel. You’re going to get a non compliance violation and be standing in front of congress for not following procedure.. oh never mind, that’s where I work.
