My cat lit up my bulb!

[aTailOf2Kitties]

it is static electricity affecting the gas within the bulb. If you rub nylon on a fluourescent tube light, it glows. The twisty bulbs are just smaller versions of the tube lights.

Thanks! I tried rubbing my hands together and touching the bulb but didn't get much. So I rubbed my feet on the carpet (with socks on) and then touched the bulb with my socks...very cool light!! Still not as much as my cat's head though...looks like I could use a humidifier in my house!

Frankenkitty! Yeah, a humidifier might be a good idea.

Love, Columbine
