Counsellor Bob Drinkwalter told the Hydro Commission at last Thursday's meeting that bulbs pop due to night power surges. The panel noted daytime voltage 118-120 volts rises to about 125 at night, urging residents to use bulbs rated at least 130 volts while warning cheaper bulbs burn out faster. Chairman Tyler warned against poor choices as Acton claims first rate power.
