Sorry for the cross-post, but our bitchen PHP Forum does not allow me to move a post. So, is it April Fools or are there really special light bulbs for garage door openers? My buddy was trying to sell me a bill of goods on that one. Maybe he is right. :idea:

Absolutely correct. Garage door light bulbs use filiments made of unobtanium do to the constant motion/vibration of the door going up and down. You'd be a fool not to spend the extra money to run them, at least as far as you know. I've got a case of them sitting right here in fact. You can tell the special garage door bulbs as they have a GD marked on them.
They actually do make bulbs that are for garage doors. I think they have a stronger filament that holds up to the vibration of the opener better then a normal bulb.
Damn you Jordy, my two fingers just don't move fast enough.
I believe the are supposed to be shock-resistant...since they get vibrated constantly.
whats a garage door opener?
I'd just feel left out if I didn't chime in to say that yes, there are special bulbs. For those reasons listed above. Well, except for BD's reasoning.
