Mx,
The lightbulb string is made out of tungsten metal. This tungsten filament is in an inert gas environment, argon I believe. The reason it eventually burns out is because the argon gas eventually leaks out or is consumed somehow and oxygen leaks into the bulb and then frys the tungsten filament...or something like that...
how many polk forum members does it take to change out a lightbulb?

and the answer is ..................................
10. One polk forum member to actually change out the lightbulb...nine others to debate how good the stereo sounded when the light bulb was on....and how much better the stereo sounded when the lightbulb burned out!!

I guess we could not read the Radio Shack emblem on the digital inner connects while the light was blown:D

My stereo sounds better with the lights off! lol! :cool: Not really, but when it is on, the lights flicker -- at loud volumes.
