All who do not own a push/pull socket, however, will claim that they cannot detect the difference,

Slide switch versus old time string pull, or bolt-on rotary switch on the cord.

Rubber, plastic or cloth covered classic cords like daddy used to play.

Al Marcus will explain how he used to do a fast switch on stage between songs to get a different mood for each song with the lighting.

2 will want to know if it's a Emmons or Day lamp switch.

And of course some Dobro player from No Peddlers will complain that it's electric in the first place and that he only plays during the day or or by campfires.

If he did play a Pedalbro it would have to be a DAY set up.

Is it best to use a 200v 50 cycle or 110v 60 cycle bulb.

Use an open top or closed top shade in small clubs.

What are the best effects gels to use with the bulb.
Some will say ONLY BLACK gels are best.

Should we stay with clockwise or switch to counter clockwise threads.

Did Buddy use 50 or 60 watt bulbs when he played with Faron in 1957.

Obviously the roadies change the bulbs for him.

And then re-aim all the lights away from the steeler and on to him.

Another will say he always prefered gaslight to play lapsteel too.

Maybelle Carter never played with electric lights till she was over 50.
