With regard to electricians & lamps - not bulbs ! My very good friends that are electricians, known as sparkies, were & are fixated on this subject.
In truth Thomas Eddison is credited as inventing the first electric light bulb, So called because when connected to electric the light shone in a bulbous shape - measured in Lumens, therefore elec/bulbs are called light bulbs, word bulbs is a shortened word/s - - " bulbs " & therefore nothing to do with plant bulbs !
We still jibe on this at times but bulbs is correct eg, hoovering up, is as we all know vacuuming with any vac !
Sorry to be boring but this issue has gone on for years in the trade.
Keep annoying the sparkies & up trin Trin !
