I actually replaced a bulb once and thought my hands were clean, and that the DON'T TOUCH THE GLASS was just hype. It burned out within within a day. Since then, I I'm a believer - DONT TOUCH THE GLASS.DeezerShoove » 39 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ If you thoroughly wash your hands and dry them, then do your best to not touch the glass while making the switch, no problem. Some facial tissues have oil so you can't use them. My point is you don't absolutely need gloves if you respect that the glass should not have residue present after the install.
Now Timmy, if changing a bulb, was told to use a tissue while doing so. He thinks it's to wipe his hands after handling the messy light bulb. No problem until after dark.
