Yeah! Trouble is probably you and one other dude will actually recognize it's arcane. Most everybody else will be thinking it's current. Perhaps only me and bbelk will think it's hip.
Ken, gettin' ready to groove in May

Yup. See the post above by barryh.
Rest assured I don't hang out on the light bulb forum just turned it up in a search.
Some folks must do bulbs for a living but enough for a forum ?

I am sure its very interesting and they probably have a speakeasy and lots of "inside" jokes about lumens or whatever, but I think hanging out on a lighting forum would be one of the last steps before being put on suicide watch. Not at all cool like us and our old motorcycles.
Any time humans engage in some activity with other like-minded souls, there is potential for associations, collectors, clubs, and competitions.
A few of the more outlandish come to mind:
Barstool racing:

Shovel racing:

Lawn mower racing:

We are a peculiar species.

One of our own, Doug in Arlington makes a living in the light bulb industry.

It's a vital part of my industry as well (theatre lighting). We would get pretty worked up about light bulbs except that they aren't bulbs.
A favorite joke in the theatre is this:
Q. How many lighting designers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A. THEY'RE LAMPS!!!!!
P.S. I fixed your quote, Richard. We're going to have to start calling you ZM.
